Curation in Higher Education

Intéressant

thanks for the scoop!

A hot and relevant topic

Right, this is a topic I've been thinking and working with a lot lately. The authors discuss this as a tool for secondary school (mostly), but the principles apply equally to adult learners and collaboration, learning communities and communities of practice.

The reference list is also a valuable resource. More to add to my reading list...

Robin Good's insight:

Paul Mihailidis, has an interesting essay on "Exploring Curation as a Core Competency in Digital an Media Literacy Education" in which he offers "a prospective attempt to build curation into the media literacy conversation..." by analyzing the analyzing effective curation practices, and six highly relevant teaching points for using a news curation tool like Storify in the classroom.

His essay "seeks to encourage instructors, particularly on secondary and tertiary education levels, to bridge the gap between informal learning outside of the classroom with formal learning to create a more dynamic place for students to advance critical inquiry, dialogue, and engagement through new forms of content creation, curation, and dissemination."

He writes: "Through student-driven, creation-driven, collective and integrated teaching approaches to curation, the framework aims to build towards savvy media consumption and production, critical evaluation and analysis, and participation in local, national and global dialog.

The framework also addresses the ability to see diversity and civic voice as core competencies in the curation process.

As students learn to build cohesive stories and ideas from a wide variety of sources, they can learn about the diverse types of content that inform a story, and the avenues they have-through social media tools and platforms-to be part of the discussion."

Curation can be an extremely effective approach to develop critical thinking skills and practices, as it forces students to evaluate, vet, verify and decide what really matters.

"When students develop a credible list of professional and personal sources around an issue and/or event, they must acknowledge how much subjective weight they place on a tweet, a blog, or a Facebook post and in relative comparison to an advocacy group, cable television operation, or news service. Arguing for the credibility of a myriad of voices online forces students to build valuable justifications for what they choose to believe, and why."

Informative. Examples-rich. Educationally useful. 8/10

I am very excited to find this work to share with my teachers. I continue to get pushback as I try to encourage them to allow time for students to curate.  The fact of the matter is that true curation takes time, but the skills gained by students cannot be ignored, and research and critical analysis are found throughout the Common Core Standards. Curation is also a pathway to personalized learning as students pursue their own areas of interest through the art of curation.

I see this helping to create a PLN Personal Learning Network

This educator describes how Scoop.it can be the tool by which you teach students to gather, manage, and evaluate information. I 100% agree with his caveat at the bottom that Scoop.it doesn't do the teaching but because it is so simple and seamless and allows for so much interaction and feedback between student curator and instructor, it is the perfect medium for it.

Need a new subjects or all higher education students - digital content curation - we provide less pre-preapred resources - students need to learn what is worth citing 

A essayer pour comparer avec Pinterest (la taille des images notamment). le clip vidéo donne une idée rapide du fonctionnement.

Encore un outil à découvrir... pour collecter des documents.

From curating selected TED talks on specific topics, to interview collections or trailer playlists there is a universe of possibilities for organizing the huge amount of free video content available out there.

Useful. 7/10

Flipboard generates a great user friendly interface.  Curious about curation? Investigate this.

A great way to aggregate and present content to students.  Or even better, flip that process and have students create their own content collections.

Will definitely try this one out!

I love Flipboard! What a great app. The only problem is that it is impossible to use for those without tablets. 

Easy to use, excellent curation tool!

Herramienta similar a Pinterest pero de marcado caracter educativo, nos permitirá buscar, seleccionar, organizar y compartir contenidos de cualquier tipo (texto, imágenes, vídeos...) en tableros visuales.

Another new eLearning tool

Some useful tips on how to rebalance the Timeliness vs. Accuracy and Quality equation for information dissemination. A must-read for any user of social media! 

Could be used when teaching evaluation of online content / critical thinking skills.

If you are interested in what could be a good workflow and set of tools to use to curate content on your own WordPress blog, Nathan Weller has a must-read article for you.

In it, he dissects and explains the tools he uses to curate content on WordPress, from how he aggregates and browses RSS feeds, to how he filters, edits and actually curates the content of each post.

Interestingly his focus is on quality, not on having his site populated by lots of "somewhat relevant" content pulled in automatically by one of the many "content marketing"-oriented curation tools available today.

I think you will find several interesting ideas that you may have not considered on how to approach your curation workflow, let alone checking the several insightful comments at the end.

Lost of valuable information, resources, examples and advice. 8/10

Working on our first WP site...integrating a blog, publish newsletter w/MailChimp...thanks for the info! Learn learn learn!

UTA [University of Texas Arlington] uses Pinterest to connect with distant online students and to search for information. 

It's interesting to see alternatives to social networks like Facebook.
