Equatio vs. GoReact

If I have a student doing higher-level math, Equatio would be my recommended tool for digital access. However, it has too many options and would be confusing for younger students. Kami, Google Docs, or Kiwi Write math would be better for those students. It is also very pricey, so we would choose a cheaper tool to do the job.

It is very well-suited for business presentations. The students improve their presentation skills tremendously using GoReact and the feedback from the instructor. It is less suited for very technical areas such as operations research and management science.

• Edit tool. I am able to add formulas to my google slides very easily.
• I am able to use Mathspace to create for example math manipulatives.
• I am able to have a graphing (desmos) tool easily accesible for when working with systems of linear equations.

• Records lessons well
• Able to make concrete comments on their performance
• Able to print or save and put on the GF transcript records
• Easy to sue and navigate

• I would like to try voice typing of math equations.
• I would like to type math equations in multiple colors.
• I want to be sent an infographic in my email detailing all the ways I should use Equation, but I don't yet know about it.

• Bigger screen of an individual signing
• Do not see the closed captions if necessary
• Do not combine gradebook with My Course at RIT and Blackboard at UR

Anytime I have had an issue with text help software, the support team is always very helpful. When necessary, we have phone conversations or video meetings to troubleshoot the situation. This means that the solution happens very quickly. Often, they ask me for a screenshot or video to help them replicate the issue.

Equatio is an excellent complement to the above-mentioned extensions. We needed to have access to software that would help us in these stem subjects. Equation meets this criterion perfectly. It is quite helpful that Equatio can be embedded into orbit note when used in a PDF file.

We looked at Voicethread because the university has access to it but it does not even come close to functionality of GoReact.

• Saved me lots of time looking for what I ultimately was able to create myself with Equatio
• Mathspace is an invaluable. I wish We could assign things to the students and have them work and then send the assignment back to us. Right now we can only assign things to them.
• Being able to talk to write equations is also a huge timesaver.

Incentivized

• Reduced my time for providing feedback by at least 30%
• Increased the likelihood students would see and use my feedback
• Increased the likelihood they would watch themselves on video
