Adopts agile development methodology and open
source tools to make learning more accessible and open
Red Hat, Inc., the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced that Curriki, a non-profit that builds
tools that enable open access for all to the technologies that can
transform the way educational experiences are designed, created,
and delivered, has completed a six-week Red Hat Open Innovation
Labs residency to develop education solutions for students using a
flexible, responsive approach to developing digital learning
content.
The education landscape is evolving rapidly with the pace of
digital transformation and changing learning needs. The realities
of virtual learning have created numerous challenges for parents,
teachers, and most of all the students. To use technology to help
solve this issue Curriki launched CurrikiStudio, the first free and
open, interactive learning content authoring solution, designed to
accelerate and scale digital-first content development.
During the pandemic the Curriki team needed to scale
CurrikiStudio to millions of users and deploy it to different cloud
providers. This led Curriki to work with Red Hat Open Innovation
Labs to help make its offerings, including CurrikiStudio more
accessible to education institutes. Using Red Hat OpenShift, the
team was able to build more reliability, availability and
scalability into its solutions. Curriki streamlined its tools,
making them even more simple and seamless to set up and install on
all major cloud platforms, allowing education institutes to get
started on creating interactive lessons rapidly. Red Hat Open
Innovation Labs also introduced agile methodology, including
DevOps, to Curriki’s teams, enabling them to develop their software
more efficiently and increase productivity. By building more robust
solutions and productive teams, Curriki is better positioned to
extend its offerings to the learning departments of businesses and
government agencies.
Red Hat Open Innovation Labs enables customers to work
collaboratively in a residency-oriented lab environment with Red
Hat experts through flexible formats. Usually held on the
customers’ site, Curriki and Red Hat teams adapted to the pandemic
restrictions with a virtual residency. The collaboration led the
Curriki team in achieving six months of work in six weeks which
included optimizing code, leveraging auto scaling capabilities with
the help of OpenShift, automating the installation through push
button deployment and containerizing CurrikiStudio.
Launched in 2016, Red Hat Open Innovation Labs offers customers
an immersive experience through a dedicated consulting service
during a 4-12 week residency that helps companies integrate open
processes, culture and technology to solve business challenges.
Through Red Hat Open Innovation Labs, customers can take advantage
of mentoring and open source tooling to help their organization
rapidly accelerate business initiatives - whether working on
creative new digital applications or modernization initiatives,
such as moving a monolithic application to a modern microservices
architecture.
To extend the impact of the virtual residency, and to continue
to grow their Red Hat OpenShift skills, Curriki has begun using Red
Hat Learning Subscription.

“We are delighted for the opportunity to bring innovation to a
social cause by making education more accessible, open and free.
Through Red Hat Open Innovation Labs, open source tools, processes
and methodologies, we worked with Curriki to better understand
learning needs, especially during the pandemic, and co-create
solutions to drive continuous learning for students and learners
around the world.”
Scott McNealy, co-founder, Curriki
“Innovation is all about breaking boundaries and doing things
you have not done before. Red Hat Open Innovation Labs offered a
safe space in which the Curriki team could explore new ideas and
exchange insights and best practice to bring some of the solutions
from their imagination to life. The sessions helped teams break out
of their comfort zones and try out things that were beyond their
roles. At the end of the residency, Curriki developers had gained
an interest in IT operations and the IT operations staff wanted to
get involved in DevOps work. Triggering this curiosity and growth
mindset will help the team innovate and bring better education
solutions to learners in the future.”
