Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does "manaakitanga" mean and why do I need to commit to it?

A: Manaakitanga means hospitality, care, and respect for others. In Kaha Create, it represents our commitment to sharing knowledge that uplifts, connects, and heals. This ensures all content maintains positive values.

Q: What's the difference between content type options?

A:

• Quick Share: Simple video + reflection prompts

• Basic Learning: Includes quizzes, action plans, reflection

• Step-by-Step Tutorials: Adds structured summaries for instruction

• Custom: Choose specific exercise types for your content

Q: Why does the platform ask about data storage location?

A: We respect both digital sovereignty and environmental responsibility. Choose storage in Aotearoa for data sovereignty, Australia for renewable energy benefits, or let us optimise automatically. This reflects our commitment to kaitiakitanga.

Q: Can I skip the cultural preparation process?

A: The cultural preparation ensures respectful, ethical knowledge sharing. While some steps are quick, the reflection questions create better learning experiences. The process typically takes 2-3 minutes and significantly improves content quality.

Q: Can I collaborate with others on creating resources?

A: Currently, Resource creation is designed for individual use. Team collaboration features may be available in future updates.

Q: What happens if I lose internet connection during creation?

A: Your progress is saved automatically as you work. You can return to continue creating where you left off once your connection is restored.
