Curatorial Teaching
Notes on George Siemens
10 minute lecture

Issues with Online Learning
Any student with access to the web has

access to all the same materials/resources
that the teacher has.
Teachers can't expect learners to navigate

an effective path through all these resources
without some guidance.

Possible Solution
Curatorial Teaching

Teacher as Curator - creating an exhibition

of material that will enable effective learning.
The exhibition could include a variety

of 'artefacts' available from the web.
Structure provided by the 'curator'.


Challenges of Curatorial Teaching
Students to create their own path with

structured guidance from curator.
Reluctance of students to make their own

path - dependence on teacher as 'expert'.
Achieving objectives of external

requirements - such as exam board or
industry.
Instructor not neutral but a participant.
