Explore the graph¶
The explorer is a web page that lets you view the curriculum — domains, chapters, lessons and their links — without changing anything. It is a read-only view of the published (official) version.
Open the address your administrator gave you, then sign in (same credentials as the tool).
Pick a graph¶
At the top, a selector lists the available curricula (for example Mathematics — CI, Reading — CE1). Choose the one you want to explore. A curriculum appears automatically once it has been published.
The two views¶
The explorer follows the Learning Commons ontology: it shows no subject-specific vocabulary, just the graph's structure as it is.
| View | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Hierarchy (containment) | The containment tree: from the standards framework down to its items, following the containment links |
| By type (LC) | All nodes grouped by their Learning Commons type, each with its links — the most complete view |
Click a node to open its detail panel; the small triangle expands / collapses its items.
Colours and legend¶
Each node has a colour by its Learning Commons type (standards framework, framework item, lesson grouping, lesson, learning component, curriculum…). The legend shows the colour key.
Search¶
Use the search bar to find a node by its title.
Look at your draft before publishing¶
When a draft is open on a curriculum, two buttons appear above the tree: Published and Draft.
- Published — the official version, the one generation reads. This is the default view.
- Draft — the work in progress, not published. Every added or changed element carries a tag in the tree, and removed elements are listed above it (they are no longer in the tree, so that is the only place they can show). A counter recalls how many elements were added, changed and removed.
This is the answer to "what exactly am I about to publish?": you look at your own work in the same tree as always, instead of reading a summary.
Curators only
Viewing the draft requires a curator role (or higher) in that workspace: a draft is work in progress, not a publication. If your role doesn't allow it, the explorer says so and stays on the published version.
A draft is still a draft
What you see here does not feed document generation until it is published (see Review, publish or discard a draft). The explorer stays read-only: you look, you don't edit — edits happen by chatting with Claude.
The catalog¶
The Catalog tab opens the libraries of reusable templates — your workspace's own and the shared one, common to every programme. Each entry appears as a card: its title, its kind, its summary, and what it is made of.
Three kinds of entry, told apart by their badge:
| Kind | What it describes | What the card counts |
|---|---|---|
| Routine | The teaching structure of a session | Its steps and materials |
| Formatter | How a document looks | Its formatting rules |
| Rubric | The criteria a document is judged by | Its scale (for example 0-4 or Yes/No), sections and criteria |
To find your way once a library grows:
- the tabs (All · Routines · Formatters · Rubrics) keep one kind at a time, each with its count;
- the search box filters on title and summary. Accents are ignored: typing
recitationfinds "poésie-récitation"; - the library selector narrows the view to the workspace or the shared shelf.
All three combine, and a counter shows how many entries remain out of the total. Reset clears them at once.
Click a card to read the entry's full specification — the instruction text generation actually reads.
What the explorer shows
The explorer shows the published version only. A draft being edited does not appear here until it's published — by design, so it only ever shows the official version. To preview the effect of a draft, use the preview feature on the tool side.
