Content Curation Can Help Education System Breed Future Workskills

From d20innovation.d20blogs.org - August 6, 2012 10:14 AM

Robin Good: If you are interested in exploring content curation as a possible venue for innovating teaching and learning approaches, you will find lots of valuable information in this new article by @NancyW entitled Developing Future Workskills Through Content Curation.

In it she points to a study conducted last year, the Apollo Research Institute Future Workskills 2020, that identifies critical workskills needed for future jobs and how fitting "content curation" may be in cultivating and refining many of those.

She writes: "A closer look suggests that critical workforce skills identified in this \ study can be easily aligned with the skills practiced with content curation.

The skills a student employs to successfully curate information include curiosity, media literacy, ability to make connections across disciplines, information literacy, the ability to evaluate and understand perspective, synthesize and evaluate information, and a good dose of self-direction."

"Future Workskills 2020 suggests a monumental shift and change needs to begin now in our education system.

These skills can be developed through the process of content curation.

Content curation has the added benefit of helping students find their passions for and take ownership of their learning..."

Right on target. Recommended. 8/10

PKM Is Curation For Your Own Personal Growth | Harold Jarche

From www.jarche.com - July 23, 2012 11:46 AM

Robin Good: PKM or Personal Knowledge Management may be indeed a very close relative to Content Curation. But while Content Curation, is done with a specific audience in mind, PKM is done for one's own learning.

Harold Jarche, looks at the relationship between the two and writes:

"The most important part of personal knowledge management (PKM), in my opinion, is the need for active sense-making.

Merely seeking and sharing information does little other than create more noise online.

Sense-making takes time, discipline, and effort.

-> One strength of PKM is the “manual” nature of sense-making activities. The act of writing a blog post, a tweet, or an annotation on a social bookmark all force you to think a bit more than clicking once and filing it to an automated system.

-> Sense-making, or placing information into context, is where the real personal value of PKM lies.

-> The knowledge gained from PKM is an emergent property of all its activities.

Merely tagging an article does not create knowledge. ...

The difference between PKM and Curation is that the former is personal, while the latter is for an intended audience."

Insightful. 8/10

I have been using his framework for the past year and a half to teach curation to nonprofits. Linking curation to nonprofit staffer work flow is a great way to get people to use curation!

Content Curation: From Information To Knowledge [Video]

From www.youtube.com - July 23, 2012 11:47 AM

Robin Good: Start this video clip at 1':42" (up to 3':30") and you can get a pretty good idea of what a content curator does and why what he does has so much to do with sense-making, making things understandable for others and ultimately extracting contextualized "meaning" from information "as is".

Must-see. Excellent. 9/10

P.S.: Thanks to Howard Rheingold for spotting this clip and sharing it.

Excellente vidéo sur le concept mapping avec un exemple sur le cheminement de l'information à l'action (début à 1'42). Merci à Robin Good et Howard Rheingold pour le partage.

Recognizing Curation Intent: Marketing, Sense-Making or Personal Expression

From opencollaborarchy.wordpress.com - July 23, 2012 11:43 AM

Robin Good: Short post but very relevant points to start looking at. @chopemurray at Opencollaborarchy is the first individual I see catching the different shades of curation "intent" that are characterizing the "surge" of content curation initiatives, projects and tools all around us.

From the original post: "However the evolution of digital curation is experiencing some fragmentation. Not that this is bad, but it does suggest the differences should be understood as curation tools will differ in features and capabilities as each tries to satisfy its target customer base.

So far I have identified 3 major distinctions in [what is "sold" today as] curation:

a) Content Distribution

Marketing Content: comes in several forms as marketeers move away from landing pages on Facebook and web sites, and seek to amplify brand presence through curated content.

b) Sense-making - Topic-focused

Information (or Knowledge Content): More focused on collecting and condensing information to support a topic or subject. Most commonly a reference site usually set up for either internal or external collaboration

c) Personal Expression

Curating Personal Content – less dependent on content management features and capabilites: can either be used for amplification (self-branding) or condensing (information)."

Rightful. Calls for deeper analysis. 8/10

P.S.: I invite you also to contribute to the poll provided at the end of the post. Notwithstanding that the poll will reflect only the opinions of those answering it, I'd very much like those few investing in curation as a sense-making activity to make their voices heard.
