Curriki is a nonprofit, web-based platform that delivers free open educational resources primarily targeting the K-12 sector. It offers a variety of curricula and teaching materials to instructors, learners, and guardians, with the majority of content shared under Creative Commons licenses. The resources are contributed by the community and undergo peer evaluation to ensure adherence to quality and educational standards.

The term Curriki is derived from blending "curriculum" with "wiki." Its approach depends on worldwide community input to create and distribute flexible digital textbooks, videos, and interactive learning tools available to anyone connected to the Internet.

History

Initially established in March 2004 by Sun Microsystems as the Global Education & Learning Community (GELC), the entity transitioned into an autonomous 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 2006 and adopted the name Curriki. Presently, it supports a global membership exceeding 350,000 users and has recorded over 8.5 million visits to its site. The organization was co-founded by Kim Jones alongside Sun Microsystems' founder Scott McNealy and has earned several accolades within the industry.

In September 2017, Curriki collaborated with AT&T to create interactive mathematics assessment tools that offer students immediate feedback, thereby broadening its range of digital educational solutions.
