Content Curation Strategies for Corporate Learning « Media1derLand
Welcome to the legacy Media1derland blog site. Please visit our new site for the latest on performance improvement for today’s workplace. In my previous blog post, Your New Role: Learning Content Curator, I underscored the need for corporate learning professionals to begin to let go of content creation and start nurturing a content curation mindset. According to global marketing strategy guru Rohit Bhargava, a Content Curator is someone who continually finds, groups, organizes and shares the best and most relevant content on a specific issue online. By donning the content curator hat on top of a strong foundation in instructional design and performance consulting, we open doors to a new incarnation of interactive online learning. You’re Probably Already Curating Content If you actively use social media, you have likely already participated in content curation. If you have ever developed learning content, you are wired for content curation. Like this: Like Loading...
The Future of Social Media: 38 Experts Share Their Predictions For 2012
What is in store for 2012? With only two months remaining until the end of the year, there is no better time than now to pause and take a look towards the future. I predict that 2012 will be the year that marketers begin to look beyond the buzzword that is “social media” and focus on what truly matters – building engaging communities. Twitter, Facebook, Google+, etc. are great channels/tools for communicating and pushing out content but without a focus on fostering a sense of community, your efforts will ultimately fall flat. But you don’t have to take my word for it. The beauty of predictions is that everyone has their own. 1. The integration of a credible and relevant social media presence will finally be viewed as strategy, rather than tactic. 2. Engagement is going to be a key performance indicator and main focus point with so many platforms that users can “belong to.” Transparency will become more of a theme. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22.

This presentation by Corinne Weisgerber touches in a very clear format on what separates aggregation than curation. And which, in my opinion, can be summarized by the human touch. While aggregation can be automated, curation is essentially the expression act of a human being. It completes nicely what Robin Good also expressed previously on this topic on his blog to specify what good curators did. And which I published under the “Curating the Curators” title. For us at Scoop.it, we take the democratization of curation as an opportunity: can anybody be a curator?

Welcome To The New Age Of Curation
I’m guessing that a lot of you think that now – right now – is a golden age of creation. And in many ways, it is. It’s never been a better time to make art of all kinds, from video games – my own art of choice – through books to filmed entertainment and beyond. Sure, the massive media disintermediation spawned by the Internet has spawned a golden age for creators, at least for touching audiences directly. But finding great, sometimes underappreciated art is the thing we consumers need the most help on right now – especially because there’s so much of it out there, and so much of it that can be easily accessed. That’s why, in many ways, this is the ‘Age Of Curation’, not the age of creation. 1. 2. 3. Get down too deep, and you’ve no idea what’s going on across the entire medium. 5. Some form of this filtration has been in shape for decades, largely in print form, of course.
The 5 types of stories that make good Storifys
While covering Occupy Wall Street, many news sites have used Storify to capture on-the-ground reports from journalists and protesters. Storify, they say, gives them a way to help their audience make sense of the stream of information flowing out of social networks. The social news curation tool also helped news sites thwart last week’s media blackout. Storify CEO and Co-founder Burt Herman said there’s been a surge in the number of people using Storify to capture the protests. Social movements Several news sites have used Storify to enhance their coverage of Occupy Wall Street and the Arab Spring. About two-thirds of the Storifys that Mother Jones has created have been about Occupy Wall Street. “I almost think of Twitter as Josh’s notebook,” Tasneem Raja, Mother Jones’ digital/interactive editor, said in a phone interview. The Occupy Wall Street Storifys that have worked well are the ones that offer context for readers, Herman said. Breaking news Internet humor, memes Weather

What is Content Curation
Content Curation, in simple terms, is to discover, gather and present web content based on their specific subject matter. The concept is age old – we are prone to collect and catalogue the best of human inventions and have looked at those as the right sources of knowledge to solve our needs. Content Curation has become essential in the age of Internet. In fact, it has every potential to bring more order and utility to the social web. In addition, it will add voice as well as point of view to businesses, connecting them with customers. This, in turn, will create a communication channel based on valued content instead of marketing messages created by brands. Content Curation is classified into five categories: Aggregation – This practice involves curating the most relevant content into one single location. A large number of tools and sites provide content curation service. Coming back to Content Curation, there are several sites and tools to help you in the process.
