Tutorials Online Whiteboard and Collaboration - Scribblar.com A framework for content curation | E-Learning Provocateur In conversation at EduTECH earlier this month, Harold Jarche evoked George E. P. Box’s quote that “all models are wrong, but some are useful”. Of course, the purpose of a model is to simplify a complex system so that something purposeful can be done within it. Nevertheless, if we accept the inherent variability in (and fallibility of) the model, we can achieve a much better outcome by using it than by not. It is with this in mind that I have started thinking about a model – or perhaps more accurately, a framework – for content curation. I have grown weary of hotchpotch lists of resources that we L&D pro’s tend to cobble together. Surely we can put more design into our curation efforts so that the fruits of our labour are more efficient, meaningful, and effective…? Consider the trusty instructional design heuristic of Tell Me, Show Me, Let Me, Test Me. As a framework for content curation, however, I feel the heuristic doesn’t go far enough.

GroupZap — Welcome Content Curation & Fair Use: 5 Rules to being an Ethical Content Curator * Update: I have a much lengthier updated post that incorporates the material below: Content Curation: Copyright, Ethics, & Fair Use Recently, Kimberley Isbell of the Nieman Journalism Lab cited a Harvard Law report and published an extensive post on news aggregation and legal considerations.

The five recommendations are below. 1. Marketing reason: The more you link to third parties, the more likely they are to link back to you – which ultimately improves your SEO. 2. Marketing reason: A good content curator is selective an only links to the most relevant content on a specific topic or issue. 3. Marketing reason: Demonstrating that you have curated content from a wide variety of sources, and content from some very reputable sources, makes you more credible as well. 4. 5.

Basecamp is everyone’s favorite project management app. Curation in Learning I’m getting very excited about the possibilities of using more digital curation in learning. The trouble with curation is that I’m seeing it everywhere. As such I wanted to come up with a short framework that I could use to talk about how I see curation in learning being used, both at the organisation level and for individuals. We can think of digital curation as being useful to us in four broad roles that I’m calling Inspiration, Aggregation, Integration and Application. Inspiration With the proliferation of content on the Web, it should come as no surprise that we are in increasing need of systems to sort, maintain and re-purpose content in a systematic manner. Organizations can of course benefit from this approach. Aggregation Increasingly we are being challenged to deliver ‘more with less’ in the learning department. In the context of a formal learning intervention, organizations can use curation to aggregate content as part of the learning design process. Integration Application
