Full Text

One of the things that makes Boundless unique is that anyone can contribute to our open educational content. Anyone can add, remove, or reformat content to their heart's content; they can also leave feedback with suggestions for improvements if they don't want to make the changes themselves.

It's important to note, however, that any changes made by community members will only be published on the site if they are deemed by the Boundless Content Team to be genuine constructive improvements—other contributions will be declined and hidden.

This page provides guidance as to what makes a contribution constructive.

Useful Contributions

A student using Boundless can make useful contributions by noting any points that are unclear or that could be better explained.

An educator using Boundless can suggest tips or heuristics they use in the classroom, such as a certain mnemonic device, be included in our content to help students learn.

Subject-matter experts can add or remove content to improve pedagogical clarity and address feedback left by other Boundless users.

Anyone can make useful small edits to grammar, punctuation, or formatting.
