Lecturers’ curational behaviour: selecting, structuring, and presenting crossmedia resources for higher professional education

In today’s era of content abundance, a huge amount of resources is available digitally, from research articles to news items and from online courses to YouTube-videos. As a result, lecturers in higher education have an endless supply of crossmedia materials they can present to students as learning materials. This presents lecturers with the challenge to select those materials in such a way that they match the course topic and prior knowledge and proficiency level of the students. Additionally, they need to consider how to structure resources and how to make connections between them in order to support students’ learning. It is often recognized that this task is remarkably similar to the task of curators in museums. However, little is known about how lecturers in higher professional education approach this task. This study investigates how lecturers in Dutch higher professional education select, structure, and present educational resources, from the perspective of curation.
