A group leader chooses a membership policy for the group they create when they complete the Create a New Group form. The type of membership policy for a group determines what non-members can see and do when they visit a group's space on Curriki.
Currently, there are two types of group membership policies:
1. Open Membership - Any Curriki member can join without approval or nomination.
2. Closed Membership - Curriki members must be invited and accepted to join.
Groups with an open membership policy are generally referred to as "open groups," while those with a closed membership policy are referred to as "closed groups."
Why would a group have a membership policy of open versus closed? Curriki offers the capability of creating a closed group in case the group's collaboration and communications are intended for a specific set of participants. For example, a group that is associated through an organization or school and wants to focus on a specific project without the input of people outside of their organization or school may decide to keep their group closed.
