Despite a decade of trying, Learning & Development teams have had limited success bringing down the cost of Elearning. Now people are starting to question why we are so focused on creating content in the first place: Could we get similar or even better results curating content?
In this session, delivered as a free seminar at the 2016 Learning Technologies Exhibition, industry expert Dr. Ben Betts walks you through the development of a content curation strategy, sharing case studies of curation in organisational learning along with excerpts from his new book, Ready, Set, Curate!

Bit like online dating… for weird people.
I did my Master’s degree online and, whenever I told people that, there was always an element of suspicion… was it a real degree??
Now it’s all changed of course…

But building online learning remains expensive1 hour of learning content costs $30,000 on average
Chapman, 2010
For university students who average 15 contact hours a week.That’s $450,000 just to build 1 week of content for 1 module
E-learning isn’t much different to what came before.Its industrial age thinking.

That was perhaps OK when jobs were standard. But they’re not anymoreYou will go to work to solve novel problems, every day.
Textbooks won’t help you. Memorisation of facts won’t help youThe world changes too quickly to keep content up-to-date
Teaching the same standard content in the same standard curriculum isn’t helping learners
We overload our learners with content, like it’s the lifeblood that sustains them

It’s because the sense-making process has real valueAnd the skill it takes to do it is a skill that is increasingly in demand.

It is not enough that we prepare students to know the right answers
Anything with a right answer will be automated.
