Curriki is committed to the idea that access to knowledge and tools for
learning is a basic right for every child.
Curriki believes that limited budgets around the globe, combines with the
widespread availability of the internet has created a unique moment where
an open source solution can effect a major change in how learning materials
are created and shared that why Curriki’s goal is to make learning resources
free of charge and available to everyone on an open source platform
For that, Curriki has completely rethinked the traditional model of how con-
tent is developed, published, distributed and evaluated. By leveraging the
power of open source communities, Curriki is growing a global community
of educators and learners that create, use, edit, extend and share resources
with one another.
Thus, Curriki created an open source curriculum based on open source
practice of creating products or software that opens up access to source
materials or codes. Applied to education, this process invites feedback and
participation from developers, educators, government officials, students and
parents and empowers them to exchange ideas, improve best practice and
create world-class curricula.
Curriki’s innovative approach is best represented by our 3-D model:
