Through our analysis, British Columbia's website was established as the 'gold star' for accessing curriculum and encouraging curriculum usability. This resulted in it inspiring much of our vision for both what curriculum sites should strive for, as well as elements to integrate into our own site.
In the time that it took to do this project, Ontario's website was updated which reflected large improvements from its previous iteration (PDF files). As well, some of the language on their website served as inspiration for our own phrasing.
While Alberta's curriculum website was challenging to navigate for grades 7-12, they have made great strides in improving the access to and usability of K-6 curriculum. Their strategic use of colours and icons represents what many other provinces are aiming to move toward.
Nova Scotia's curriculum is in the process of being renewed, and the updated sections are promising. Web pages specific to grades of subjects provide high-level outlines, examples of learning in context, the option to print/view the full curriculum in PDF, as well as 'At-a-Glance' quick reference guides. These guides explain the rationale and provide guiding questions that can be used by students, family members, and educators.
Saskatchewan's website had quick, easy access to curriculum documents with entry points through grade or subject, options to view Outcomes & Indicators only or full PDFs, and a Quick Links section to additional resources designed to support and supplement the curriculum information.
Although difficult to locate, Québec's curriculum documents (called 'schedules') do contain colourful diagrams that visually explain a student's learning experience specific to the subject as well as how that subject relates to other subjects (interdisciplinary links).
