Educators can search and reuse courses, units, and lessons from a shared library covering more than 500 districts. Google Drive and Google Team Drive links allow documents, videos, links, and other media to accompany curriculum. Embarc+ supports sharing lessons and activities within and between participating districts. Public and student portals can present learning targets, assignments, assessments, discussions, announcements, homework, and resources.

Kuali Curriculum Management helps higher education institutions handle curriculum proposals, reviews, approvals, and academic changes. Institutions can configure forms for courses, programs, policies, and other changes, then route submissions to faculty, committees, and academic leaders according to their approval structures. The system tracks proposals, approvals, bottlenecks, and outstanding work. Reviewers can see prerequisites, corequisites, and program relationships when assessing a proposed change. Embedded AI can create or modify workflows, change forms or approval processes, refine proposal content, and identify stalled proposals through natural-language prompts. Approved curriculum can flow into Kuali Catalog, while approved course information can connect with Kuali Syllabus Management. Kuali describes its platform as API-first, with REST and GraphQL connections for campus systems. It says customer data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access roles and permissions are configurable. The product is listed for web and API. It is paid, but no numeric price, free plan, or free trial is stated; institutions are invited to schedule a demo.
