Any type of educational materials that are in the public domain or introduced with an open license. The nature of these open materials means that anyone can legally and freely copy, use, adapt and re-share them. OERs [sic] range from textbooks to curricula, syllabi,
lecture notes, assignments, tests, projects, audio, video and animation (UNESCO, 2013).]]> 2020-03-02 13:44:41 UTC https://padlet.com/skidmore/ryersonwebinar2020/wish/452934258 Curation ≠ open - and that's okay skidmore https://padlet.com/skidmore/ryersonwebinar2020/wish/452934260
  • Open education purists insist that only the most open Creative Commons licenses should be used - FOCUS ON TEACHING
  • curation brings in original, authentic materials - FOCUS ON LEARNING
  • even if curation doesn't produce OERs, curation generates engagement
  • in other words, curation is a useful addition to open educational practice

    • A producer and consumer of appropriate educational resources through sharing and development.
    Marie Rutherford, Georgian College:
    • the careful, deliberate, thoughtful stewardship of information applicable to a topic or subject matter. The components of successful curation involve the timely collection and continual refinement of the information gathered.

    What's missing from these definitions? Activities that foster student engagement with the curated materials and with the practice of curation

    Opportunities to ENGAGE with each other

    Opportunities to CREATE
    • reflection on learning 
    • practice in expressing learning through teaching
    • solution: course projects where students curate modules of authentic materials

    • gather up whatever artefacts you come across on topics you teach
    Filter
    • select those artefacts that would be useful in a particular course or learning situation
    Annotate
    • formulate commentary and questions on the artefacts
    Arrange
    • put the artefacts together in a meaningful fashion (e.g. a learning pathway)
    Publish 
    • make the artefacts available
    Circulate
    • spread the word through media available to you about the curated collection you've published
    • in a course setting, this means getting the curated collection out to students and engaging them on it through 
      • discussion
      • annotation
      • using it as a model of practice for them to curate their own collections in a similar manner
