ASCILITE 2012

2. DEFINING CURATION
• An all creative process whereby content/artefact6s are
purposely selected to be preserved for the future.
• In the digital environment, additional elements can be
leveraged such as, the inclusion of social media to disseminate
collected content,
• The ability for other users to suggest content or leave
comments,
• And the critical evaluation and selection of aggregated content.

3. DIGITAL CURATION TOOLS!
• All about the application of digital curation tools such as,
• Tools possible in higher education eg, smartboards.
• Blogs, twitter, Instagram, cloud, an Facebook.

4. EMOTIONAL AND SOCIAL COMPONENTS OF
LEARNING
• They are intrinsically linked.
• If educational technologies, particularly digital tools can yield positive
emotional responses then their higher educational potential leads to
positive learning experiences,
• And by extension , improvement in learning outcomes.
• In a study that explored the relationship between emotions and the
acquisition of computer knowledge , it was found that the negative
emotions were correlated with ability( in relation To nine computer
based skills measures), while positive emotions (happiness) showed a
positive correlation (Hay,2008, p:1275)

WHILE SIMILAR CONCLUSIONS HAVE BEEN DRAWN IN PREVIOUS STUDIES OF
COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND STUDENTS( HUGHES, KARP AND O’GARA,2009, P:195;
KARP AND HUGHES, 2009,PP:73-82)
