Understanding and Advancing Equity in Our Communities

Course arbitrage is powerful because:

• Information is abundant. People pay for clarity, structure, and speed, not raw information.

• Demand is high. Online learning is growing yearly.

• People want step-by-step solutions, not hours of research.

• You don’t need to be a guru. You just need to be a good researcher and communicator.

• Low startup cost. You can create a course with time, not money.

Equity is more than fairness—it’s about ensuring everyone has the resources, opportunities, and support they need to thrive. Unlike equality, which treats everyone the same, equity recognizes differences and aims to address structural barriers that disproportionately affect certain groups.
