La curation de contenus, la mémoire partagée d'une veille scientifique et sociétale

Creative ideas are by definition novel, and novelty can trigger feelings of uncertainty that make most people uncomfortable.People dismiss creative ideas in favor of ideas that are purely practical -- tried and true.Objective evidence shoring up the validity of a creative proposal does not motivate people to accept it.Anti-creativity bias is so subtle that people are unaware of it, which can interfere with their ability to recognize a creative idea.

thanks Cornell for this study, but conclusions are not optimistic
so true!, even in research settings and environments!! and I would say, right now very true when there is money shortage as it is now in France. Other explanations might be cultural. And when bureaucracy is thriving, creativity vanishes... If you have real good explanations or if you have solutions to modify attitudes particularly of students, please share

Instauré en 2009 avec la loi Hôpital, patients, santé, territoire (HPST), le Développement professionnel continu (DPC) réunit dans un seul concept les notions de formation professionnelle continue et d’évaluation des pratiques professionnelles. Où en est sa mise en œuvre ?
« L’objectif du DPC est important car il vise à garantir une meilleure qualité et sécurité des soins en perfectionnant les compétences », a soutenu Guy Boudet, chef du bureau RH2 à la Direction générale de l’offre de soin, lors des Rencontres annuelles des cadres de santé organisées par la Fédération hospitalière de France (FHF) fin janvier.

le DPC commence dans les CHUs français par l'encadrement
L’étrange mot sérendipité éclaire aujourd’hui notre pratique du web. En effet, sur Internet, le système hypertexte (lien permettant d’accéder à une information de manière associative) et le mode d’indexation par mots clés présentés parfois sous forme de nuages, pousse l’Internaute à une navigation intuitive, un butinage le conduisant de liens en liens et le poussant, de facto, à des découvertes fortuites. Ce qui conduit certains observateurs comme l’américain Steven Berlin Johnson à dire que le web serait par essence « le plus grand moteur de sérendipité de la culture » jamais inventé.
a) what people curate as relevant is not generally among the top ranked results according to popular metrics. Good stuff is not the same as what is considered normally popular or authoritative stuff.
b) content curation allows a community to synchronize around specific issues and subjects (as anticipated by Clay Shirky)
c) better and more appreciated curation is of the "structured" kind, providing additional info, meta-data and categorization.
d) curators that are highly appreciated are characterized by consistent activity and by a variety of interests (or viewpoints under the same theme) that they are capable to cover.
This is rather my experience; however, I usually explain it to my clients this way:
a) You can be doing an excellent job, but never receive the recognition, popularity, or traffic you deserve.That doesn't mean you won't be appreciated greatly by the smaller group of people who do find/read your curated works.
b) No matter the popularity of your curation, you can build and have conversations -- but remember, community cultivation not only requires additional time, but a different skill set.
c) If you're going to do it, do it well. Use tools, such as labels and tags, and *always* provide context as well as proper credits and links.
d) Consistent activity is nearly as important as showing some personality along with your knowledge. Your topic may be narrowly focused, but offer additional topics and information about you personally (not just professionally) so that people get a sense of you.

Being a teacher isn't always easy. Between the time spent actually teaching and the time spent preparing for it and giving extra help to students, there isn't always a lot of time left over.
Being a teacher isn’t always easy. Between the time spent actually teaching and the time spent preparing for it and giving extra help to students, there isn’t always a lot of time left over. Sometimes we spend so much time focusing on our students’ learning that we forget to focus onour own learning- which isn’t usually a focus for most teachers.
