ELC 042: The Power and Practice of Digital Curation

Digital curation is emerging as a sound strategy in learning experience design to replace or enhance courses. It's also a strategy for building community and a way to support informal learning and a backchannel. In this episode, I speak with Allison Anderson and Ben Betts, co-authors and editors of Ready, Set, Curate: 8 Learning Experts Tell You How.



Allison is a Chief Learning Strategist at Learning EcoStrategies. She has more than 20 years of experience as a learning leader in both higher education and the private sector. Ben leads the team at Learning Pool, specialists in learning and performance technology. Ben is a thought-leader in Learning Technology with more than 15 years of experience and a doctorate where he studied the impact of gamification on adult social learning.
