Learning by creating context

A way of social learning

Abstract

The curation is the process of collecting, organizing and displaying web contents of interest by putting them into a particular context. This paper describes a series of educational practice researches aiming at exploring how curation transforms student's attitude toward learning, and what are the effects of curation learning. The authors applied a curation learning support system to each practice. Based on the results of the qualitative and statistical analysis, we discuss how curation method could contribute to our country's higher education and how the learning based on the principle of social motivation is realized by utilizing new information technology in the information and knowledge-based society.
