Curation as a teaching strategy workshop

We typically associate the word “curation” with art galleries and museums, but with the burgeoning availability of open education resources, it can also be part of a content creation strategy. Sifting through the vast amounts of relevant content online can be challenging, but also presents opportunities to selectively collect astonishing and high-quality pieces, carefully authored by others and potentially of great value to your learners. Curating existing online materials can also offset resource-intensive media productions, such as filming and creating videos that are normally included in content-focused designs. This presentation will focus on the process of finding, evaluating, selecting, arranging, annotating and contextualizing existing and quite often, freely-available, online learning materials in order to create a rich learning experience. Whether you plan to curate all of the content, or also want to create some your own, we will explore what mix is right for you, and look at a few tools that can help make the process easier. 

 

This hybrid workshop will be held virtually on Zoom.
