Seek Sense Share Note: my blog is where I hammer out ideas, so you may be finding some of these posts a bit repetitive. Sorry about that My working definition of personal knowledge management: PKM: a set of processes, individually constructed, to help each of us make sense of our world, work more effectively and contribute to society. PKM is also an enabling process for wirearchy: ” a dynamic two-way flow of power and authority based on knowledge, trust, credibility and a focus on results enabled by interconnected people and technology” Some Observations: PKM is part of the social learning contract. Explaining PKM: I have looked at the PKM process as: Sort-Categorize-Make Explicit-Retrieve Connect-Contribute-Exchange Aggregate-Filter-Connect. Currently, this makes the most sense to me: Seek-Sense-Share
A Comprehensive Guide to Content Curation Depending on your point of view, content on the internet can be a vast collection of treasures, a cesspool swimming in filth, or a big pile of gold specks mixed in with an even bigger pile of dirt. My guess is that most people lean towards the last one, giving rise to content curation, the process of finding the gold among the dirt, as a very popular online activity. At its most basic, content curation is the process of finding, organizing, and presenting content from the flood of information and media that inundate the web by the second. Content curation isn’t about creating new content, just like a museum creator has no hand in creating the artifacts she decides to put on display. It’s not about indiscriminately collecting content (that’s aggregation, like what an RSS reader does), either, just as a museum curator doesn’t simply point to any object in a warehouse when deciding which artifacts will be included for a particular show. There are many ways content curation happens online.
About the DCC Many research teams are aware of data curation and its numerous benefits, but few have so far managed to address the issues practically and effectively in a working environment. The Digital Curation Centre is committed to bridging this gap by sharing our knowledge and experience with the higher education sector. To do this, the DCC has embarked upon a fresh, new, three-year programme of work, which began in March 2010. Our help isn’t just limited to expert advice. We are a gateway to the technical solutions, curation tools and learning resources that can help data custodians like you to build capacity for digital curation. The value of digital curation Such is the potential for digital curation to add value at every stage of the research lifecycle, the practice is fast becoming a requirement of successful funding bids.

Teaching with Content Curation Content curation is “…the process of collecting, organizing and displaying information relevant to a particular topic.

My daily PKM routine (practices and toolset) Harold Jarche is a leading authority on Personal Knowledge Management, which he describes as a set of processes, individually constructed, to help each of us make sense of our world, and work more effectively. He has developed a popular Seek-Sense-Share framework which identifies the 3 key elements of PKM (see diagram on the right) Harold writes about PKM continuously in his blog, and has also helped thousands of people worldwide use this framework in his very popular online workshops, which he runs privately for organisations or publically. I have talked and written a lot about the use of social media for professional learning, and in particular how social tools have transformed the way I work and learn. I was recently asked how my own use of social media fits onto Harold’s PKM framework. Although I search for (ie seek) stuff regularly during the day on Google, most of what I find out comes from the continuous flow of information from my professional network.
Franco Torcellan: Quando la ricerca online diventa prodotto ... dai diamanti non nasce niente dal letame nascono i fior ... La ricerca in rete presenta non poche difficoltà: internet è rappresentabile anche come una grande biblioteca caotica dove materiali di grande qualità sono mescolati a documenti ben poco attendibili, di scarsa fattura ed anche totalmente errati e fasulli. Anche se sono state elaborate metodologie e prassi per la valutazione della qualità delle informazioni reperite in rete (PDF, Kb 524), qualcuno è molto scettico su tutto questo e tende a rifiutare le nuove modalità e forme della conoscenza. David Weinberger afferma, invece, che "La conoscenza in rete è meno certa, ma più umana. Del resto gli stessi filtri sono contenuti: Google, ad esempio, ordina i risultati tenendo conto soprattutto di chi linka che cosa. La nuova conoscenza è dunque ampia, senza confini, populista, accreditata dagli altri, irrisolta. Weinberger dice ancora che "... per quanti metadati espliciti si forniscano, non saranno mai suficienti. ... ...... ...
Trend: content curation | Pim on social business Een trend die ik nu zie zijn de sites die zogenaamd content curation verzorgen: een manier om interessante internet artikelen te bundelen en aan te bieden aan de lezer met je eigen mening.

AulaBlog 15 top-notch content curation tools Content curation tools play an important role in the content planning and publishing process. Before we provide you with our picks for the Web’s best content curation tools, let’s go back a step revisit the origins of content curation and the specific role it plays. The role content curation plays across the social Web Content curation has risen in significance for a number of reasons: 1. Curated content is more cost-effective than producing (only) original content. There are associated benefits of curated content, including the ability to serve up frequent content and increased opportunities for interaction, which can help exposure over time. How content curation works Content planning varies by channel. The best forms of curated content are evergreen, as opposed to news-based content, which has a shorter shelf-life. Examples of evergreen content include FAQs, how-to guides and tutorials, industry definitions, and resource lists (such as this one). Aggregation dashboards 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 8.
Guide: Using the SAMR Model to Guide Learning Technology is an immense tool that can transform the way students learn. One of my favourite quotes which demonstrates this comes from Steve Jobs: “What a computer is to me is it’s the most remarkable tool that we’ve ever come up with, and it’s the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds To me, this quote best illustrates the potential impact technology can have on learning. (Image Credit: Jonathan Brubaker (@mrjbrubaker)) Background The SAMR Model (above) was developed by Dr. – Enhancement (Substitution and Augmentation) – technology is used just to enhance a task– Transformation (Modification and Redefinition) – tasks are designed in a way which would not be possible without the use of technology How does it work? – Substitution – at this stage, technology is simply used as an alternative tool for completing the original task with no real change in the tasks function. Example: instead of writing by hand, learners use an app like Pages to type up a report. (Image Credit: Ruben Puentedura)
I’m a Curatr ratr I’m into my second week of a course on the Curatr platform. The course is, by coincidence, about how to become a good online curator of content and a course on the Curatr platform works by, well, curating content! Enough circularities. The course itself is about curation, in this context the act of searching the web for material on a particular subject and re-presenting it as a series of links to the original sites. As the name suggests the course doesn’t include any new or specially written content other than (and this is important) some discussion questions and an element of gamification. Despite having no interest in games, I found this element of the gamification quite appealing as it helps to chunk and consolidate the very diverse messages of the very diverse items. I found some elements of the platform a bit clunky, like not being able to resize the content and discussion windows and too many email notifications (I could probably turn them off).
AulaBlog: Integrare le nuove tecnologie nella didattica: il modello SAMR La domanda da cui nascono la mia presentazione e il mio intervento è la seguente: quale atteggiamento dobbiamo avere nei confronti della musa transmediale, ovvero della narrazione transmediale e della cultura della convergenza, che ci promette la libertà della partecipazione ma mette anche a punto il più potente strumento di seduzione manipolatoria che l'uomo abbia mai approntato? Dobbiamo, come Odisseo, resistere al suo canto o, invece, abbandonarci ad essa e unire la nostra voce alla sua? Non essendo in grado di rispondere a tale domanda, mi limito a offrire un percorso che, forse, ci permette di conoscere meglio la nostra musa seguendo alcune delle sue epifanie e capire meglio l'inquietudine che suscita. La Musa Transmediale Questa la mia presentazione, 63 slides, che possono essere raggiunte al seguente link: La musa transmediale.
