From DSC:

How will these types of technologies affect what we can do with K-12 education/higher education/workplace training and development? I’d say they will open up a world of new applications and opportunities for those who are ready to innovate; and these types of technologies will move the “Forthcoming Walmart of Education” along.

Content Curation Tools: How to pick the right venue?

On 02/04/2011, in education technology, learning ecosystem, productivity / tips and tricks, RSS, social learning / networks, social media, tools, by Daniel Christian

Content Curation Tools: How to pick the right venue? — from Content Curation Marketing by Pawan Deshpande

By definition, content curation is the act of continually identifying, organizing, and sharing the best and most relevant content on a specific topic or issue online. When evaluating which content curation tool to use, there are three primary areas of consideration:

1. The Inputs – Where does the content curation tool get information from? What type of content will this allow me to curate? Will it help identify and recommend relevant content?

2. The Organization – What does this tool offer in terms of organizing content once it has been identified? What type of data models does this represent content as? In a simple chronological list, or an inter-linked structure? Does it let me annotate and editorialize the curated content?

3. The Venue – How and where can I share the content once I have decided to curate it?

In this blog post, I am primarily going to focus on the decided on a content curation tool based on the venue – the channels to which your content is curated. And just like most things, there’s no one right answer. It really depends on your goals and objectives.

The Social Learning Handbook is now available — Jane Hart

On 01/24/2011, in change, corporate / business world, corporate universities / corporate training, social learning / networks, training / L&D, UK, workplace, by Daniel Christian

The Social Learning Handbook is now available — Jane Hart

“It is becoming apparent that we are at the beginning of a fundamental shift in the way that both learning and working is happening in organisations. The revolution that is social media means that now everyone can have access to the Social Web and a range of services and applications to support their own as well as their team’s learning, performance and productivity.

This should not be seen as a threat to the L&D profession, but as an opportunity to take on the new challenges it offers. The first step will be to understand the changes that are taking place, and then become immersed in the new social media tools that are underpinning this change in order to help others in the organization work and learn smarter. Social Learning, after all, is not something you just talk or read about; it’s something you do!”
