Curation is Key for Workplace Learning in an Age of Dynamic and Expanding Content, Context, and Collaboration!

This hands-on LAB, laser-focused on Curation & Learning for the Workplace, will take place January 29 - 31, 2019 in Saratoga Springs, NY.

Elliott Masie will lead a small group of Learning colleagues who will explore how Curation will impact Learners, Learning Professionals, Learning Design, and Learning Technologies in a 2 ½ day intensive exploration and lab experience.

Curation is about optimizing the time, focus, and efforts of both learners and employers as digital content grows. Curation is a key, strategic, and evolving opportunity and challenge for the Learning & Development field. Curation is the process of finding, sorting, organizing, rating, ranking, recommending, validating, clearing, tracking, and personalizing learning resources.

As content, context, and collaboration for learning expands, your employees are facing a wider Learning Panorama. I am deeply excited to bring together a small group of learning colleagues from around the world ? at all levels of experience ? exploring, experimenting, assessing, and deploying a range of curation strategies. This is a LAB where we will experiment collaboratively.

Curation & Learning LAB topics will include:

• Optimizing Content for the Workforce & Workplace
• Who Curates? Learners, Designers, or External Forces?
• Building a Recommendation System for Curation
• "Truth Testing" & "Appropriateness Screening"
• Curation for Transfer: Learning at the Moment of Need
• Machine Learning & AI for Curation: The Future?
• Building a Curation Taxonomy: Tags, Keys & Sorts
• Curation Goals: Targeting, Transparency & Optimizing
• Mapping Curation to Current Design Models (e.g. ADDIE)
• Curation for Global and Diverse Workforces
• Curiosity-Based Curation: Siri, Alexa & More
• Emerging Curation Tech & Methodologies
