Curriki.org: A Place for Teachers to Share Materials (2/2)

Curriki is also working on several international projects. One of them involves teacher training for Indonesia. In South Africa, Curriki has been working on a research project on the process of building free and open curriculum.

In two thousand four, the Sun Microsystems company launched the Global Education and Learning Community. Two years later, Sun established it as an independent nonprofit organization and changed the name to Curriki.

Bobbi Kurshan is the executive director. She says a team of experts rates material on Curriki on a scale of one to three. The volunteers judge if the information is complete, if it is right for the age level and if it is written well.

The name "wiki" comes from a Hawaiian word for "quick." But Bobbi Kurshan says she recognizes that many teachers may not be quick to trust free, open-source materials. She says people should trust the educationalcommunity on Curriki to do the right thing. In her words, "We're changing the way we build curriculum."

Crriki也参与几个国际项目。其中之一就是为印尼提供教师培训。在南非， Curriki一直进行一个如何建立免费开放课程的过程的研究项目。

2004年，太阳计算机系统公司开启了全球教育和学习社区。两年后，太阳将其建立为一个独立的非盈利性组织并改名Curriki.

Bobbi Kurshan是执行经理。她说一个专家组将Curriki上的材料按1到3进行分级。志愿者判断信息是否完整，该信息是否适于该年龄段，以及是否写的很好。

名称"Wiki"来自夏威夷语，代表"快"。但是Bobbi Kurshan说她认为许多老师没有迅速接受免费开放资源材料。他说人们应该相信Curriki中的教育社区在做正确的事。用她的话说："我们正在改变我们建立课程的方式。"
