What is this form?
This is a page on Curriki that you can access if you are logged in as a Curriki member:
http://www.curriki.org/xwiki/bin/view/CreateResources/SimpleWikiResource
If you successfully complete and submit the form, you create a wiki resource in the Curriki curriculum repository.
For a visual presentation of how to use this form, watch the How to Create a Wiki Resource From Scratch video tutorial.
Completing the Form
When you create a resource using the form for a "Simple Wiki Resource from Scratch," you follow four steps laid out in the page:
Step 1: In the first step, you enter and select required information for the resource. You give your resource a title and align it to specific subjects/topics and educational level(s). You provide a description that people see when they roll their cursor over your resource title in a search results listing. Five of the elements in Step 1 are required. If you create a resource inside an existing collection or folder, you will see that some of the Information Settings are "inherited" from that parent collection or folder.
Step 2: In the second step, you enter your content into the "WYSIWYG" (What You See Is What You Get) editing window. You can use the buttons in the toolbar to style and format your content, and to insert images or attach files to your resource. This is a required field in the form.
Step 3: In the third step, you complete the Information Settings that control who has the rights to this resource, who can view or edit it, whether it should appear in search results, etc. Rights Holder is a required field, and will show your registered member name by default.
Step 4: In this step, you review your selections and entries to the form and click Submit. If you have completed all the required fields, your resource will be created in the repository and you will see a confirmation message.
What if I want to change the content later?
If you publish your resource by successfully submitting the form, and then you want to change the content, you’ll do any editing in the Resource Edit interface, which looks a bit different than the form where you created the resource.
First, find your resource in My Contributions in My Curriki. Click the link that says "Edit" to the right of the resource title. Make any changes to the content and save your work in the Content tab.
If you wish to update the Information for your resource, choose that tab and click “Edit Info. Make any changes to the Information Settings and click the Save button when you are done.
Can I save my work in the form and come back to finish it later?
The only way to save your work is to successfully submit the form. If you click away from the form, you will see a warning.
If you want to submit it as a draft, set the Access Privilege to "Private" and enter placeholder content everywhere that requires input. Your resource will exist in the repository, but no one except you (or your group members) will be able to view and edit it.
When you are ready to complete the resource, find it in My Contributions in My Curriki, and finalize it in Edit mode (as described above). When your resource is ready to publish to the community, change the Access Privileges to "Public" or "Protected" to share it.
What other parts of the Curriki Help Collection should I review if I want to use this form successfully?
One section of Help addresses specific WYSIWYG functions: Formatting Content in the WYSIWYG Editing Toolbar.
If you choose to edit your resource after submitting the form, you may want to read about Customizing the Content Display.
