It won’t be long now, before the new Curriki website is live. Currently it is in late stage development. There will be many changes that we are confident you will appreciate. The site will be significantly more mobile device friendly and much easier to use and navigate.

There will be direct access to all resources in your own library from a personalized dashboard. This will also provide direct access to your contacts and groups and provide you with current information on the latest activity at Curriki and within your community. And the functionality around groups is being redesigned for enhanced discussion and collaboration.

Accessing and uploading resources will be much faster and easier. Creating collections and aligning resources to standards will be significantly easier than at present. The review system will be enhanced to align with Achieve OER rubrics. The not-for-profit organization Achieve was a key developer of the Common Core State Standards. (You can learn more about the eight rubrics at: http://www.achieve.org/oer-rubrics).

We can’t tell you everything just yet, but we hope you are starting to get excited! We at Curriki are very thrilled that we will be able to deliver this enhanced functionality and ease-of-use to all of our users soon.
