Digital curation tools have become and are utilised as effective learning tools (Johnson, 2018).

Tools like Scoop.it, are practical and curriculum-relevant, letting students interact with and publish to global audiences (Johnson, 2018). Students utilise analytical abilities to gather and deconstruct information (Johnson, 2018)

Curation is an essential modern learning tool, and in a surplus-content society, people providing audience-relevant content will be network community leaders (Johnson, 2018). Students are trained to comprehend content relevance, preparing them for future education and careers, and curating online topics can aid this(Johnson, 2018)

Educators can locate effective tools to compliment educational goals (Flintoff et al., 2014), construct online magazines centred on certain topics and they can utilise social interaction via discussion threads (Johnson, 2018)

Digital curation tools are important for content creators and curators, enabling created content to be easily located and accessible, and for people to locate and curate online data and share with target audiences (Flintoff, Mellow & Clark, 2014). Many tools are freely accessible and some enable text and image synthesis like 'Scoop.it', utilising a visual-magazine layout- as seen in figure 3, to present content (Flintoff et al., 2014), which is collated from online sources (Johnson, 2018)
