In Open edX is there the functionality to use a rich content editor to enter mathematical equations for students. We are using MathJax extensively in setting up courses, but I need, really NEED, a way for my students to enter math equations in answers without knowing MathJax. In the Canvas rich content editor this function is easily accessible and usable. Is there perhaps a way to have something similar available in Open Edx? I do not want my students to use an editor online outside the LMS. It should be available in Open edX.

Any ideas?
