Hinweis der Redaktion
- Curation is the organisation, discussion and presentation of information including objects, facts and opinions, in order to create value and meaning to be understood by the public
- Content curation has always occurred in schools â resources were always gathered around the topic of teaching, in order to support and extend student understandings. The difference is that in the past, this consisted of gathering âhardâ content â books, posters, newspapers, kits etc (and these were usually gathered together by the teacher librarian, the leading content curator in the school). Nowadays, the teacher librarian and teachers not only have access to these resources, but also to a huge range of digital resources â many of which provide fantastic, engaging learning opportunities for todayâs students. Content curation enables this huge range of resources to be arranged in a usable, accessible way. Students too can benefit from learning effective curation skills as being able to quickly and critically evaluate a range of information sources, and then curate these into a meaningful collection is a vital research skill. Content curation is even becoming a study skill which is explicitly taught to students. Stickynotes: what do you already know about content curation, what is your burning question?
- Collection is additive. Curation is subtractive. Collecting is for yourself, curating is for others. Curation is is purposeful and intentional. The value you bring as an educator, which differentiates your curated collections from Google is a knowledge of the curriculum, a knowledge of the schoolâs current resources and their resourcing requirements, a knowledge of the information sources accessible

- lessen the possibility of information overload since information is linked to where it originated â far easier to cite original source Modeling also the importance of acknowledging sources and the importance of checking and evaluating in terms of authority and credibility Guided Inquiry With Curation Tools â Students curating as a way of learning information management Curation websites - useful to students during the collection stage of the Information Search Process because they can access varied information formats from multiple sources in one webpage. also a form of presentation, so learners can use these tools to: arrange their sources, Display background reading Show where novel ideas inspired mashing up different sources originated
- It is a skill that students need to also develop: Digital curation: Opportunities for learning, teaching, research and professional development by Flintoff,Mellow and Clark CRAP = currency, reliability, authorship, purpose Students can improve their own critical appraisal of information Students build a resource that can be used beyond their studies Students can collaborate and share these resources with their disciplinary peers Teaching staff can use the collections as part of their assessment strategy Students engage more broadly across a topic, often encountering leading edge research and developments that can be overlooked in general undergraduate studies The collections become a highly focused and selective distillation of information around a topic and serve as a learning resource in their own right Students too can benefit from learning effective curation skills as being able to quickly and critically evaluate a range of information sources, and then curate these into a meaningful collection is a vital research skill. Content curation is even becoming a study skill which is explicitly taught to students.
- Part of your daily/weekly jobs to do Take advantage of the tools to help you make it quicker â lots of curation tools have âbuttonsâ which enable you to capture as you are searching; E.g. of how I set up my Diigo Lists for classroom planning/resources linking to library wiki
- Establish your âstreamsâ Where the information comes to you, you donât have to go to it. Demonstrate Flipboard on iPad Flipboard allows you to import your blog subscriptions, Twitter account, Facebook account and many other interesting web publications into a unique iPad interface which âflipsâ like the pages of a magazine. Each page is tiled, and with a tap on the screen, enlarges so that you can read the entire article, still in the magazine style layout. Flipboard is fabulous for when you want to gather together and browse multiple web sources, and allows you to quickly flick through and find particular articles of interest. Twitter â identify hashtags and people to follow Explain what rss is Explain how Diigo groups send digests to you
- Who are your curators?
- Filter content âą Select content: - quality - originality â relevance Consider: who is my target audience? Are there copyright issues surrounding this? For educational purposes, free to use a lot more, but check the item itself isnât a breach: Go back to the original source where possible to give attribution to the correct author As TLs we naturally do this part, but if teaching students this part is extremely important and is a skill that needs to be explicitly taught.
- There are so many great content curators already out there; it is about sharing, and working collaboratively. Check out also the great collections being created by libraries, education authorities etc.
- Two ways to find: either go to a curation tool and search for the particular educational authority etc
- Go to the website and see if they have a social media presence.
- Contextualize content âą Introduce/summarize âą Add your perspective This is where the aggregation truly becomes curation â it is where you choose to save the information which gives it context, as well as any additional information that is added to help the users; sometimes it is useful to add an educational perspective or suggestions on how this might be useful. Explicitly linking why you have chosen a particular resource, and for what purposes it could be used; what you choose not to include is as important as what you choose to include and why. Providing those connections to make a richer teaching and learning experience.
- 5 min buzz â list your sources â can we share Who are you on these curation sites? Keep one username/photo â

- https://paper.li/KayC28/1379905503 takes those lists or a particular #hashtag Iâm interested in and consolidates it into a single ânewsâ paper and summarizes the days informative links for me in one place go back over the days stories and easily choose who I want to respond to to retweet again if I missed the information the first time it was posted We get to decide when our papers are updated and how often it comes out with the frequency and time settings.
- sfy.co/rRmG Storify allows you to search a range of social media (with Twitter being used most commonly) to create a newspaper style document with tweets, photos or videos that can be saved to read later, or shared among others. Storify is particularly useful if you are following a particular hash tag (for example if you know of a conference going on) and you wish to record all of the tweets posted by participants, but canât view them all as they are posted. You can nominate to save all tweets with that hash tag, then go back later to read what was said. Here is an example of a Storify which captures a professional conversation which took place on Twitter. Take a tour of Storify.

- http://www.scoop.it/ Scoopit is a growing curation tool that gives you a number of different ways to collect information. You can connect your social media accounts, scoop items directly from the web as you discover them or draw them from a list of suggested scoops based upon keywords which you nominate. Without doubt this last feature is a fabulous time-saver, as many interesting articles are provided for you to scoop onto your page without having to go searching for them. You can also rescoop from other members pages. Once you have scooped articles, you can also add your own comments onto them, making this tool particularly powerful for directing students to specific parts of pages or sections of material. To get an idea of how Scoopit could work for you, have a look at
- Tweet, facebook, promote on library home page, take snapshots and share on instagram, tumblr â wherever your users are Provide access centrally â the library catalogue as a social space
- Today, the catalogue is no longer merely an inventory to assist patrons in finding a book within the libraryâs collection; âŠ.by including additional information, access to virtual resources, curated lists and more, the catalogue has âno dead endsâŠallowing patrons to discover and explore without being led to a bibiograpic record that doesnâtâ allow further exploration.
- Although curation is not 'theft', all of the tips that Austin Kleon shares in his book 'Steal like an Artist', itself a treatise on reusing online content ethically, apply to ethical content curation. ALWAYS link directly back to the source when curating. This is automatically taken care of when you use a curation tool such as Learnist, however, I believe that it is good practice that if you find a site which references a great idea or image, rather than simply linking to that site, I take the trouble to go back to the original creator's publication of that idea, and link to there. An example: A popular blog shares a post about a great resource they have discovered, which is created by a third party. Rather than linking to the blog post when curating the link about the great resource, take the time to go back to the third party's original post and curate this link. Therefore, the creator gets correct attribution, rather than the blogger who wrote about it. This is particularly important when curating from pages which include articles like '10 great tools for x' - these are aggregations themselves of original work, and not the original creator. Copyright is all about protecting the income of the creator; therefore, ensure that nothing you publish in a curated list directs users away from the original, particularly if the original is a source of income for that creator. Always ensure that you attribute or reference where you sourced the original content from (again, something most content curation tools do automatically, but good to remember) and wherever possible ensure there is no way that users of your collections might mistake others' work for your own. Curating widely from various sources, rather than wholesale replication of others' work on your own pages is also good practice, not only to avoid the risk of plagiarism but also to ensure you are providing a resource with a breadth of perspectives and information.
- Seeing curation as an art is a great way to begin your journey. It takes time to develop the skills, and everyone will approach it differently; at the end, however you will have created something truly unique, and a source of content that others will enjoy and benefit from.
