Future of Educational Technology 3: Augmented Reality and ELT | Technology for Learning | Scoop.it

So virtual reality applications have the potential to transform our social and learning reality. They have the potential to transform the way we read and interact with text. They have the potential to transform the way and the places where we teach and the relationship between teachers and learners.

  John Curran: "One of the current hot topics in e-learning is curation. But what exactly is curation?"

 

John does a fine job of identifying the important aspects of curation: Interpretation, story-telling and freshness  are 3 of these elements. 

 

He continues on to identify the skills needed for effective curation:

 

Finding

Filtering

Grading (selecting items appropriate for the audience)

Synthesising

Summarising

Signposting ("Signposting to the bits they need or are interested in")

Hi,Nancy. I'm a student of Beijing Normal University and am very much interested in content curation. I was wondering do you know if there are any academic papers about content curation? I failed to find any. If you know, please tell me. Thanks a lot~ Have a nice day!
