From velvetchainsaw.com - January 27, 2015 3:55 PM
Most of us turn to the internet when we are looking for resources to use for a presentation, report or article. The internet holds the key to so many robust resources.

Yet how many of these resources can you legally use for free? How many of them can you adapt?

That’s where Open Educational Resources (OER) can help. Here’s an infographic from the Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning (at the University of Texas at Austin) that can help.

Five Content Curation Mistakes That B2B Marketers Need To Avoid

Five Content Curation Mistakes That B2B Marketers Need To Avoid | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it
From www.marketingprofs.com - February 28, 2014 12:11 PM

Excerpt from the guest post by Patricia Hume, President of Trapit, and published on MarketingProfs:
"It's impossible for marketers to create enough original, quality material for each channel every day, which is why many rely on content curation to help build brand awareness and generate leads via social media and email marketing.

Here are five of the top content curation mistakes that B2B marketers need to avoid if they want to offer their audiences value, rather than noise.

1. Skimming the Headline and Sharing Immediately
A good headline doesn't mean a good article. Sometimes, it doesn't even mean a relevant article. That's why it's important to take the time to read the entire article before sharing it with an audience.
Content curation is about showing thought leadership, too; so, if you don't engage with the article yourself, then you can't show your expertise about the topic.

2. Checking Only the Most Popular Stories and Sources for Content
If your content curation is supposed to attract people to the brand for originality and thought leadership, depending on the most-visited sources and most-read articles is merely going to backfire. Your social media accounts won't stand out, and prospects and customers won't see the value in following them.

3. Not Personalizing for Your Audience
In a world of almost infinite content, your audience is going to be interested only in the stories that are most relevant to their needs.
You should carefully consider the target audience for each piece of curated content.

4. Promoting the Same Content Across Every Channel
One tactic that's employed by time-starved marketers is to share one link across a few different channels, all at once.
Ultimately, doing so undermines the purpose of content curation.

5. Spending Too Much Time Curating Content
It can take hours to create a blog post, and just a few minutes to curate content. So marketers may write blog posts a few days a week and fill the gaps in output with curated content very quickly.
But curating good content that effectively engages the audience—and making sure each piece is promoted and distributed in the context of each social environment—can take hours..."

Knight Lab Is Developing Its Smarter Twitter Search Tool: twXplorer

Knight Lab Is Developing Its Smarter Twitter Search Tool: twXplorer | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it
From twxplorer.knightlab.com - April 28, 2014 12:08 PM

Northwestern University Knight Lab is developing its smarter Twitter search tool: twXplorer and was launched at the end of 2013.
It’s made its way into the toolboxes of journalists and non-journalists alike and offers a more convenient and organized way of finding and tracking Twitter content.

 

Key features are:
- Search Twitter for a word or phrase in 12 different languages;
- View popular terms, hashtags and links found in your searches;
- Save snapshots for later viewing.

 

From About Page how it works:

 

Sign In
You have to sign in before you can use twXplorer. You do this using OAuth, which is an authentication protocol that allows users to approve applications to act on their behalf without sharing their password.

 

Search queries
Enter a query in the search box, pick a language, and hit the search button. To provide a relatively swift response, and comply with Twitter's API limits, twXplorer finds the 500 most recent tweets that include your search terms.
If twXplorer reports finding 400 tweets, it means it found 400 unique tweets–which you can scroll through–and 100 “new style” retweets.

 

Search results
For any search terms you enter into twXplorer, you get four different ways to see your search results:
- Up to 500 recent tweets containing the terms you entered;
- In tweets that include your search terms;
- The most popular hashtags;
- The most popular links.

 

Lists
This search provides information about tweets on Twitter lists you have created or subscribed to (maximum of 100).

 

Snapshots
You can save a set of results by clicking on "Save Snapshot." You can view everything you've saved by clicking on "saved snapshots."....

 

twXplorer "About Page": http://twxplorer.knightlab.com/about/
