A question I have about content curation in an organisational setting is:
How do you make the content available for people within an organisation?
I guess you could use the LMS but I don’t know user-friendly this would be especially if you need to sign-in to get to it. Maybe an intranet or other website? I’ve been playing around with Anders Pink and from what I’ve seen, it’s a useful tool for curation for individuals and teams. I’ll write a post about it in the future.
Another idea was to use one of the new apps in Articulate 360 called Rise so I thought I’d try it out. Rise won’t curate the content for you but if you’ve already done the curation you can add your content and then make it available to people via a link. Content can be added or removed easily and it’s responsive so it works well on mobile devices too.
I decided to try it out by creating a simple demo using some resources from my Continuing with Content Curation blog post. Click on the image to access and let me know what you think:
If you know of or have used any tools for distributing curated content, I’d be most interested to hear about them and your experience.

Hi Matt
Was curious to see this and looks good! Displayed well on my phone and easy on the eye.
Personally I’d think of this as a resource hub – for some reason I think of curated content as being more associated with a steady (slow/fast) stream of new content.
Only quibble is the transitions when you click on a link (it scrolls to top of page first) – it just was a bit visually distracting. Also would be nice if when you click on a resource that it somehow browsed within an app ala feebly or instar am, making it easier to get back to the curated content later.
Keen to see what you think of anders pink.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Fiona, thanks stopping by and for your comments. I think the curated content needs to ‘evolve’ over time which could be adding new (as you’ve suggested) and also removing content that is no longer relevant. I’m glad Rise worked well on your phone, I enjoy using it when I can and it’s easy to use. I like your ideas about how it behaves, they’d make good feature requests!
