Using Atlassian Tools to Organize and Deliver Educational Content: 10 Class Math Notes Project

[Habiba Iqbal]

Hi Atlassian Community! 👋

I'm currently working on an educational project called “10 Class Math Notes: Comprehensive Resources”, aimed at helping students master key topics like Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Statistics through organized, accessible, and well-structured study material.

To manage the planning, creation, and delivery of this content, I’ve started integrating Atlassian tools into my workflow — and the results have been fantastic! 🙌

Here’s how I’m leveraging Atlassian products:

📘 Confluence –
We're using it as a central knowledge hub for each math topic, complete with formulas, diagrams, and downloadable notes. It’s perfect for organizing content by chapter and sub-topic.

🗂️ Trello –
Perfect for visualizing the content pipeline. Each card represents a math topic with checklists for tasks like “Draft Notes,” “Review Examples,” and “Add Diagrams.”

📊 Jira (Optional) –
Useful for tracking progress on more technical content pieces or when collaborating with other educators and content editors on deadlines and edits.

🎯 The Goal:
To streamline the creation of a comprehensive, curriculum-aligned, student-friendly math resource that’s free to access and easy to maintain over time.

🔍 My Question for the Community:

Has anyone used Atlassian tools to manage non-software projects, especially in education or digital publishing?
Any best practices for managing large knowledge bases or distributing versioned learning materials effectively?

Would love your feedback, and happy to share more details if it’s helpful!

Thanks in advance,

Hi @Habiba Iqbal welcome to the community!

There are a lot of use cases of using Atlassian tools for non software projects. Recently there has been big updates to support HR, Marketing, and other business teams in these same tools. The Atlassian platform is flexible enough where it can usually fit most businesses / teams. 

You posted this question in the JSM category which is usually for Service Desk / ITSM / HRSM projects which does integrate with Confluence and has a knowledge base aspect but from your use case I feel like you're primarily going to be in Confluence.

With Confluence, I think there is a lot to think about when it comes to how you organize your content, such as what criteria to determine whether you create multiple Confluence spaces for if you have an all in one space. You'll have to find a balance between organizing the content and navigation for your audience and authors. Prior to creating the spaces and content it might be good to index and categorize all your content and then let that drive how you build and present it in Confluence.

Making use of labels is important as well, I primarily categorize and build our customer friendly navigation using labels, you can create a guided experience of content using labels and the filter by label macro.

If you’re using Loom, that works really well with Confluence too. Great for dropping in short videos to explain things, especially helpful if you're creating content for students.

Here is an example knowledge base we use for Service Desk of how navigation and grouping can be presented for the audience. It's probably much more basic than what you're looking for but hopefully it gives you some ideas for a starting point.

Welcome to the community. I think your scenario is great and will work. I would use the approach of the following. 

Confluence
Jira
Goals & projects AKA Atlassian Home 

These product are all interwoven and work amazing together. If you are using Jira to keep track of modules you can attach them to goals. Use Confluence for the knowledge base portion and link modules to the Confluence pages needed. 

Multiple ways to do this but at the end of the day this is a really great use case.
