The software you need to teach effectively online
The staff is very responsive and knowledgeable about the product.
PROSVideo learning must be interactive to allow students to commit content to memory. Where do you find comprehensive interactive video software that allows you to design learning paths and export the product to your classroom? Only in CurrikiStudio.
CONSFor a while, the software was in development and was locked into certain features on chrome. That has been worked out, however. The software is now widely applicable across browsers.
Reason for choosing CurrikiStudio
Interactive features are easy to implement and use in CurrikiStudio. CurrikiStudio also offers a learning path design module which - to my knowledge - does not exist anywhere else. That module saves a lot of administrative time through pre-built automation.
Reasons for switching to CurrikiStudio
Currikistudio is more comprehensive and staff support is available in a timely manner.

Incredible Tool to Maximize Accessibility
CurrikiStudio has allowed us to create virtual learning activities for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This has grown our online offerings tenfold while increasing accessibility.
PROSThere is INCREDIBLE opportunity to develop interactive learning activities for students using CurrikiStudio!
CONSThere are a few non-intuitive aspects with the software, such as not being able to preview the activity in a separate window, but designers are responsive to feedback!
Reasons for switching to CurrikiStudio
CurrikiStudio could be integrated into our platform (LearnWorlds) and did not require users to have accounts to use.

Latex
I wanted to use it for math teaching but the lack of latex hindered my progress.
PROSIt is Free, Comprehensive, and multi-purpose.
CONSIt lacks latex which is critical to math and science, it's a long process when you want to curate content, it is confusing when you want to add pdf.

Every teacher should know about CurrikiStudio!
We have been teaching online full time since September and will continue to do so for the rest of the school year. I was desperate to find more interactive options. I use Nearpod and Google Slides but both are limited. I was piecing together different platforms and inserting them into Schoology. When I discovered CurikiiStudio, I could create larger units by creating a project, and they have all of the interactions I was seeking in one place. It's easy for students to use, and I can make changes while they are using the playlist, and it changes for the next day's lesson.
PROSThe wide variety of options for my content. CurrikiStudio has thought of everything that a teacher would need to help their students learn and interact with online material. I also can use my existing lessons and material with ease. CurrikiStudio also uses all formats AND they let you embed the playlists and download it into HTML5 in case your LMS won't allow embedding. I cannot praise CurrikiStudio enough for their product and willingness to help out teachers. They are a fabulous company!
CONSThis really isn't a con because CurrikiStudio provides excellent tutorial videos for each type of interactive they offer. It just takes time to learn and use all of their options, but that's okay! I'd rather have a lot of options to learn than something that only provides three options. So, really not a con.

Integrating CurrikiStudio with TCI
It has been very exciting to be involved with this evolving tool. I've already recommended it to several colleagues, and they've taken to it like ducks to water. The spirit of the tool is so admirable. Open source for teachers and educational institutions is such a wonderful way to go. The tool is a bit too high-level for most teachers to implement, but if publishers or teams implement it for various school districts, it could make a tremendous impact.
PROSGreat customer support. I never felt stuck. Calendar tool to schedule half-hour meetings is awesome. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is doubly awesome. There were so many interactions to chose from. My team has chosen three to focus on: interactive video, 360, and branching. All are potentially super engaging for students.
CONSWhen I first began using it, signing on was difficult. There are lots and lots of fields to fill out. Not sure why all are needed. It does not yet run on iPad.

Using CUrrikiStudio In the classroom
I like that I can use a variety of tools in one slideshow. I mostly use the videos and adding in questions and then making questions after for my students. I like that I can tell them they are incorrect and include a clue to allow them to try again. It is very versatile and like that I can embed it into canvas for my students.
CONSIt is not an easy software to use and required lots of time for me to figure it out and learning from another educator. This would not be easy for someone who is not technological savvy to figure out. I don't like that I can't see my students scores if I wanted to take it for a grade.
Reasons for switching to CurrikiStudio
Edpuzzle was getting to expensive and doesn't do as much as this program.

CurrikiStudio in Education
My overall experience has been positive. I would like to see more ways that I can use this online software. Having a way to report what students have done would be a game changer for me.
PROSI love the interactive piece of this online software. I have been able to take lessons that might not be very exciting and add an interactive piece. The students are engaged and complete work on their off-site days. I like that I can embed an activity directly to my website for students.
CONSIt isn't the easiest software to learn. I could not recommend it to a teacher with limited ability on a computer. I also wish there was a way for me to know when my students have completed one of the activities I have assigned. It would be great to have a classroom and assign students work to complete and then see a report of how they did.

Great for Distance Learning
I have had such an amazing time creating new activities.
PROSI love that I have ability to make interactive lessons for my students. I have students who consistently moss my lessons and I don't have time to go back and reteach so the lessons that I use Curriki to make help simulate as if I am actively teaching them. My favorite feature is the interactive videos. I can make sure that as students watch the videos, they are actively watching them. They cannot move forward unless they answer the questions. It really helps prevent students from rushing through it to get to the end.
CONSThe only con I have is the ability to add essay questions to the interactive videos. I love all the other features. I feel like I am finding new ones every week when I use it.

Easy to use but...
Because I couldn't have my students take quizzes or look at programs on Curriki studio, I decided to just use google classroom. It was much easier for me to have an all in one place to store lessons. Google classrooms also helps with grading.
PROSI like all the options that go with the software. The ability to create nice presentations slides and questions embedded right into the video.
CONSIn order to share the video with my students, I needed google classroom.
Reason for choosing CurrikiStudio
At the time, Google classroom was not available to homeschoolers. When I found I could use classroom, I found it easier to keep all my lessons in one place instead of going back and forty. my students found it easier to use classroom as well.

Flexible and Appealing
I've been using CurrikiStudio to create a resource to replace having a textbook. I also used CurrikiStudio to produce playlists for parents for Back to School Night and got some positive feedback.
PROSI like the variety of interactive activities that can be created/curated all in one place. There's a lot the creator can control and the result is appealing to students.
CONSThere are times when I lose quite a bit of work because when you save, you exit the editing area (so I get lazy and don't save often because I don't like to have to re-enter). I wish I could save my work along the way! There are also still a few glitches...but that's been improving.

I like the constant updating and feature improvements.
PROSI like that the activities can be easily embedded into Canvas and are simple for elementary students to use. I love that I can design digital lessons with instant feedback. I use Curriki weekly for spelling sorts, writing feedback, and in guided lessons.
CONSI am afraid that I wont be able to afford this product when Beta is over. I am a single teacher using it because I see the value in it. Funds have been tight at my school and my administration says they can't afford to any purchase requests at this time.

CurrikiStudio accessible to educators
Although it is somewhat hard to get used to, I'm sure with more practice I will become familiar with CurrikiStudio
PROSThe various types of interactive learning resources and quizzes available to create are very appealing, especially in the time of remote or blended learning. Good for 21st century students who are computer literate.
CONSThe term playlist is used for every tier of creation. It gets rather confusing to create playlists within playlists. I still have a lot of playing around to do before I can implement CurrikiStudio created resources into educating.

Shows potential
CurrikiStudio looks like it has a lot of promise. For me to be more involved in using this software, I need to know that my creative work will be recognized. The managers of CurrikiStudio would do well to spend time thinking about, "How can we involve more people in content creation?" Also, finding respected partners, such as PBS, NPR, the Library of Congress, National Geographic, or state library organizations, could perhaps hook in more content producers.
PROSI like this software is free, web-based and easy to use.
CONSI wasn't sure what I would gain if I invested my time making learning materials using CurrikiStudio. I could potentially invest a lot of time and students and teachers might never find out about my creations. So, perhaps what is needed for more people to be using CurrikiStudio is some clear ways for them to know that their creative work will be recognized and promoted. Maybe hold some kinds of contests.

I love this program and have been recommending it to other teachers. The customer service is phenomenal! The staff answers questions immediately and thoroughly, even following up on a later date to make sure everything is working the way you want/need it to.

Jazz it up?
I am using the interactive videos for online teaching. It has been fairly intuitive to create these videos and they embed pretty easily on my canvas assignments.
CONSIn interactive videos it would be fun to jazz up the look a bit, by being able to do more of a text art kind of pop-up or transitions. The look can be pretty blocky and basic. I also don't know if this already possible, but a smoother integration of the scores to canvas would be useful.

Great Engagement
I used o create a time-line activity for women in Chemistry at the on-start of the school year. I have not used it again to create new materials.
PROSIt can be used to create engaging activities to help enhance the students' learning experience.
CONSIt was very hard and time consuming to create the lessons and activities from scratch. There were limited ready made activities in science for high school chemistry and physics.
