The online learning industry, or eLearning as many call it, has been growing for years. The COVID-19 pandemic just pushed it into new territory.
Since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, online learning has gone from a good option to a centric part of people’s lives. Not only have schools and universities shut down in many parts of the country, but so have businesses and organizations. Formal education, continuing education, elective courses… they’ve all gone online. And one has to wonder how much of the industry will stay online even after the virus is contained.

There is a lot of learning content out there. Do we really always need to create more new content or can we just help people get to what already exists that can be valuable to them? This is of course called Curation and it is gaining interest as content proliferates and yet at the same…

Content curation has been listed as a future skill needed for L&D people. But how do we curate? What should we use and what should we discard?
There is so much information available to us on the web. We have a struggle to manage the deluge of data. The volume of video data is enormous, with figures suggesting 72 hours of video is uploaded you YouTube every minute (many of it silly cat videos).

The concept of digital curation has evolved from its original use. While the digital preservation of artifacts is still the primary domain of digital curation, due to Web 2.0/social media applications it has allowed anyone to easily create a topic centered library online to share with the world. Assets found online can now be quickly collated into a visually appealing web site using freely available tools. This descriptive paper explores the potential use of digital curation within three tertiary institutions.

Linkrot “also known as link death or link breaking, describes the process by which hyperlinks (either on individual websites or the Internet in general) point to web pages, servers or other resources that have become permanently unavailable”.(Wikipedia)
It should be a responsibility of the whole human civilization to preserve our digitized information in a safe and reliable matter or we risk losing much of our history, knowledge and data.
And that’s where curation plays a very important role.

As more tech firms employ their own editing staffs, they are being viewed as something less than news organizations, but more than simple reflections of their growing audiences.

What is digital curation?
Digital curation is the act of finding and selecting, grouping and contextualising, preserving, maintaining, archiving and sharing digital content.
How does digital curation work?
We are all familiar with the amount of data we receive from a straightforward Google search; a multiplicity of videos, websites, blogs, research papers, news media, tweets, etc. with varying degrees of relevance for our purposes. Within this context, the digital curator is someone who can navigate the complexity of this information and find the relevant material for their purposes; who identifies patterns; groups and contextualises information to create new meaning; and who shares this with a wider audience.

Abstract
In today’s hypermedia landscape, youth and young adults are increasingly using social media platforms, online aggregators and mobile applications for daily information use. Communication educators, armed with a host of free, easy-to-use online tools, have the ability to create dynamic approaches to teaching and learning about information and communication flow online. In this paper we explore the concept of curation as a student- and creation-driven pedagogical tool to enhance digital and media literacy education. We present a theoretical justification for curation and present six key ways that curation can be used to teach about critical thinking, analysis and expression online. We utilize a case study of the digital curation platform Storify to explore how curation works in the classroom, and present a framework that integrates curation pedagogy into core media literacy education learning outcomes.

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