XWiki is the Open Source wiki software on which Curriki is built. Chosen for its strength and flexibility, XWiki offers a high-quality solution for Curriki's design challenges, which require a mix of free-to-edit and structured contents. Created in 2004, XWiki.com aims to provide collaborative work interfaces based on its Open-Source software.

Curriki is built on the XWiki platform, an open source development platform and "Next Generation Wiki" application developed in Java and released the LGPL open source license.

This open source technology makes it easy to post materials online. When community members view the resource pages, they are able to comment, edit, and group together content to create a lesson, course or curriculum.
