How we create learning materials
Every public page should be useful to a student or parent even if search engines did not exist.
1. Start with a learning goal
A page begins with a concrete goal: understand buoyancy, find the main idea, recognize a number pattern, or practise a reasoning skill.
2. Check factual claims
Science, history, current-events-style reading and other factual pages are checked against reliable sources before publication. When uncertainty matters, the page should say so rather than hide it.
3. Write for the learner
Public pages use clear Canadian English and avoid padding, keyword stuffing and formulaic language. Private lessons can add Chinese explanations, pronunciation, examples and interactive practice where those tools help learning.
4. Keep practice original
Questions are created for Study Commons. Test-prep pages focus on transferable skills rather than copying secure or proprietary test items.
5. Revise instead of pretending the first version is final
Pages may be improved when explanations are unclear, sources change or student use reveals a weakness. Stable URLs are preferred so improvements do not discard accumulated links and search history.
