What is Curriki?

Curriki is a community of educators, learners and committed education experts who are working together to create quality materials that will benefit teachers and students around the world.

Curriki is an online environment created to support the development and free distribution of world-class educational materials to anyone who needs them. The name Curriki is a play on the combination of 'curriculum' and 'wiki' which is the technology we're using to make education universally accessible.

Curriki is the result of work done for GELC - the Global Education and Learning Community - an online project started by Sun Microsystems to develop works for education in a collaborative effort. The leadership team consists of people with a long-time commitment to exploring the use of technology to improve education.

ConnectEd has recently been awarded an EXEMPLARY grade for a unit of work on The tudors that was recently submitted to Curriki.

The unit consisted of seven Lodestar presentations that looked at various aspects of the life and times of The Tudors. The presentations covered such aspects of Tudor life as Crime and Punishment, Famous Tudor Landmarks and The six Wives of Henry VIII.

In awarded ConnectEd with an Exemplary grade, which is the highest possible level, the Curriki Reviewer stated that:

This is an excellent collection of resources on Tudor England. Topics included in the collection are Crime and Punishment, the Reformation, A Tour of Tudor England, and the Six Wives of Henry VIII. Each topic has a link to a Lodestar site that has slides and maps relevant to the topic. The information provided is accurate, accessible, and engaging. The units can be used to supplement teacher lectures or for direct student use. For example, the materials on Crime and Punishment in Tudor England include interesting background information on the topic with relevant images and then there is an online quiz about the information. Overall, a very useful resource for teaching about the time period.

ConnectEd supports students from Keystage 3 to the end of Keystage 4. Those students can only be referred to ConnectEd through Cambridgeshire EOTAS Referral Policy.
