About EQUATES
The mission of Everything Quantitative for Teachers and Students (EQUATES) is to support students and their instructors through a video repository, workshops, peer tutoring and research that cover topics in the Mathematics, Science and Technology curriculum.
Officially housed within the College of Arts & Sciences, EQUATES provides support for all Embry-Riddle students and their instructors through its four EQUATES Quadrants.
EQUATES Quadrants
Video Repository
This repository resides in the university’s learning management system in order to make Embry‑Riddle course videos available to students independent of their enrollment in particular courses within the Mathematics, Science and Technology Department. The repository is searchable by subject for student self-study or instructor recommendations.
Workshops
Focusing on student needs in support of their success in mathematics, science and technology by sharing best practices for using computational software, calculators, equation editors and other technical systems useful for but not directly targeted in any one class.
Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) With Badging (coming in AY 25-26)
Offering a free online course that anyone can take with readings, video lectures, interactive learning modules and assessments. Once the student completes the MOOC with the appropriate assessment score, they will receive a badge signifying completion of the skill training. The MOOCs will target content similar to the Workshops. That is, students will have opportunities to develop technical skills useful in STEM fields not directly targeted in any one course.

Our students agree that the videos matter:
“First and foremost, I have to tell you that I loved your videos. Towards the end, I completely stopped watching the textbook videos completely because they were needlessly complicated. Your videos were easy to understand, well laid out and sometimes downright funny. I really struggle with math, so your explanations helped me through.”
“I thought they (the videos) were great! It was a huge help for understanding, seeing as typically the only visual interaction students have is with the book. I can't wait to see calculus ones.”
