If you combine Curriculum and Wiki you get Curriki. And, Curriki is the name of a new Global Education & Learning Community that aims at delivering open source, user-created curricula for free.  A nice initiative with a mission to spread knowledge and learning to every child in the world. One of the partners of the initiative is Sun’s Scott McNealy.

Curriki is an interesting name if you ask me, since it combines the old fashioned concept of a “Curriculum” with the Web 2.0 concept of “Wiki”.  What is the idea behind combining these? Well when you take a closer look at the concept, it is not really about Curricula. It is about sharing educational resources or content. And although the site claims to have 10,000 people contribution the quality of the content I viewed was rather poor. Let’s hope it will pick-up since the idea of a learning content sharing community is great.
