Clear roles build trust.

People and institutions contribute in different ways. When a relationship involves authorship, formal review, funding, or endorsement, we identify it directly on the relevant page or resource.

Editorial method

What gets included—and why.

Start with the public need. We prioritize resources that help learners, educators, students, small businesses, startups, nonprofits, and community members take a useful next step.
Prefer primary evidence. Policy and playbook guidance begins with government standards, statutes, regulator guidance, research institutions, and original provider documentation.
Show the connection. Every sourced guide explains both what MAIC learned from a source and how that evidence shaped the recommendation.
Review the practical details. Course destinations, access claims, audience fit, and provider information are checked before publication and scheduled for review.
Separate guidance from authority. MAIC-authored planning aids are clearly distinguished from laws, official standards, and agency-approved material.

Selection is not endorsement.

External courses and tools remain the responsibility of their providers. Inclusion means MAIC found the resource useful for a pathway at the time of review—not that every provider practice or paid option is endorsed.

Accessibility

Access is part of quality.

We are working toward WCAG 2.2 Level AA. The Commons supports keyboard navigation, visible focus, semantic headings and controls, reduced motion preferences, readable type, descriptive image text, and no-login access. The site has not yet received an independent accessibility certification.

If a page, activity, document, image, or interaction creates a barrier, email us with the page and the task you were trying to complete. We will acknowledge the report, provide the information in another format when practical, and prioritize barriers that block access.

Privacy & device storage

No account. Minimal data.

The Commons does not require a login. Course plans, checklist progress, grade-band choice, and AI Quest answers are stored only in your browser on your device. The Commons does not send those entries to MAIC. Clearing this site’s browser data removes them.

Do not enter sensitive or identifying information into Commons activities. When you follow a link to another provider, that provider’s privacy, account, cookie, age, and data-use terms apply. Review them before registering or submitting information.

Shared device?

Download anything you need, then use the reset controls or clear this site’s browser data before another person begins.

Terms & limitations

Educational guidance, not professional advice.

The Commons provides educational information and adaptable planning tools. It is not legal, medical, financial, cybersecurity, employment, or procurement advice. Laws, policies, contracts, and local authority control. Obtain qualified review when a decision could affect rights, safety, services, employment, education, health, finances, or protected information.

External links can change. MAIC does not control provider availability, pricing, registration, certificates, accessibility, or content after you leave the Commons. Before adapting or redistributing any material, confirm the rights and terms that apply to the Commons content and every cited or linked source.

Corrections & contact

See something wrong? Tell us.

Report a broken link, inaccurate statement, outdated requirement, accessibility barrier, or missing perspective. Include the page title, the specific issue, and a primary source when available.

We prioritize safety, legal, privacy, standards, and material factual issues. Confirmed material corrections are made promptly; other updates enter the scheduled review cycle. Resource pages show their edition, review date, next review, and correction route.
