If you plan on adding materials that are meant to be used together (i.e. a unit of lesson plans, or a lesson plan with supporting materials), you may wish to add a Collection to help you organize them.

First, make sure you are logged in, then choose from these options:
 

1. If you are working on your own, go to the Collections tab of My Curriki and click the orange “Add a Collection” button
2. If you are participating as a group and wish to make your collection available to all group members, go to the Curriculum tab of your group and click the orange “Add a Collection” button.

Be sure to double-check where you are creating the collection (from My Curriki or from Groups) because this will affect the rights that other users of the site have to build up and edit the collection. For more information see the Access Privileges section of the Help Collection.

Once you have started the process of adding a collection, the page will be refreshed to show a form with several steps.

On the "Set Required Information" screen, you will insert a title and description for your resource, and designate required information settings for subject, educational level, and Instructional Component Type (ICT).  Click “Next” in order to check the Access Privileges and Rights information, as well as enter any key words to help users find your resource.

For details on selecting your Information settings, you may want to review the following sections of the Help Collection:

• About Information Settings
• Rights Holder & Licensing
• Access Privileges
• Instructional Component Type
• Community Best Practices for Collaborating on Curriki

After you have defined all of the required information, click "Next" and you should see a confirmation message. Depending on your settings for the resource you have added, your contribution will now be accessible through the site's search and browse functions. You can also find it listed under either the Collections tab in My Curriki or the Curriculum tab of your Group.
