Use the Table of Contents on the left to locate the information you need. Each section of the help collection is meant to build knowledge step by step, so that by reading through the material in order you can become a more and more advanced user of Curriki.
In addition, the Help Collection is meant to mimic a true curriculum such as you might be gathering on Curriki. Mock “lesson plans” and activities to complete will be available for various sections in order to help you become a “power user”. Each section also includes various Instructional Component Types (ICTs) and Media Types in order to display the capabilities of Curriki’s resource repository.
If you would like to contribute ideas or information to the Curriki Help Collection, you must first become a member. Once you have a username and password, you can:
- Provide feedback or ideas (rather than writing content yourself) by posting remarks, questions, or other information on the "Comments" tab.
- Click "Edit" to update content if you have substantive extensions, clarifications, or improvements to offer.
