Curriculum Guides
##############################################################################
The curriculum guides application contains teacher guides for incorporating Field Guide material into lessons for particular curricula.
The infrastructure is near-identical to that of the :doc:`./chapters` application, so this page will mostly cover what is different.

Curriculum Guides Overview
==============================================================================
Much like the chapters application, the curriculum guides application is made up of **curriculum guides** and each **curriculum guide** is broken down into **sections**.
The content and configuration files are stored in the same way as those in the :doc:`./chapters` application, with 'chapter' equating to 'curriculum guide'.
.. _what-is-different:
What is different?
==============================================================================
The most significant differences between the curriculum guides and chapters applications are as follows:
- Interactives cannot be added to curriculum guides.
- Glossary terms cannot be linked to in curriculum guides, as the glossary is a part of the chapters application.
- There is no required ``icon`` field in a curriculum guide configuration file.
- There is no optional ``video`` field in a curriculum guide configuration file.
