“Grandma’s Attic” vs. Museum Exhibit: At a museum, curators job is to tell a story as you progress thruand explain why things are there (set context). Curators are connective tissue.
“Road shows” – show & tell – boosted # of users and lowered the cost of the license.
Four steps in curation -
- discovery of curation - questions to ask, what do we want to do? what are biz cases?
- Architecting solution

Questions:
-How does curation differ from instructional design?
- Curation allows you to use different sources - blogs, Lynda, .com etc rather than internally developing everything
-How do you elevate SMEs to be curators too?
- Provide resources like templates, have design meetings, train them on a tool.
-Who is the quizzer? Right now, admins. In future would like that to be more open.
-What tool does KPMG use? Is it linked to the LMS? Curatr (a cloud-based tool that’s not linked to the LMS).
-How often is content refreshed? Depends on the course. Right now most info is tied to a live instructor-led course b/c that’s how it fits in with their current curriculum with main goal of maintaining contact with participants.
-Where does content sit? Either on SharePoint or LMS. At KPMG they generate deep links that they embed in a secure area like SharePoint or the LMS.
-How do you control user-generated content? You need dedicated true monitors to make sure content is accurate.
