Developing Resources on Curriki

Introduction to Resource Types

Overview of FORMATTING & EDITING OPTIONS

CB TOC.PNG
Curriki's editing tools are designed to make it easy and fast to create and edit a hierarchical collection of resources.

When you view or edit a collection on Curriki, you have a Table of Contents on the left to navigate between the different elements and levels in the collection. You also have some tabs on the top to view the Information metadata for the collection or resource being edited and for viewing the Comments on resources.

Curriki offers "Specific Displays" for editing different types of resources. For example, some resource types are:


 

  • Wiki text blocks like this one
  • HTML blocks that can contain most styles of HTML content
  • Image files of web displayable format (GIF, PNG, JPEG, etc.) 
  • MP3 audio files
  • Zip file archives- including the ability to access individual files in an archive
  • Video upload and capture with streaming playback using VIDITalk
This collection will help to demonstrate each of these types of resources and the special display and edit capabilities for each.
