Learnist

Collaborate, curate, and learn

By Maxine

This new curation tool, still in beta development, allows you to collect, curate, and present resources on topics in a visual, systematic way.

Using Learnist you can select resources and then present them in a numbered progressive way that leads the learner through a step by step process. Added value comes with the commentary you can add to each resource step and also with the social media aspect allowing comments and replies along the way. This provides the opportunity for further discussion and sharing of additional resources that others may have found on the same topic.

For an overview of how it might work for you take a look at this video

Categories range from Science, Technology and Political through to Education. See this example about Flipped Learning  which includes instructor’s notes throughout guiding and commenting on the chosen resources included in the 4 step Learnist board. This highlights the ongoing nature of Learnist with the creators note to the right hand side explaining this project is ‘under construction’ and outlining his intentions for this curation and what it will cover.

There are great possibilities here for teachers and students to collaborate, curate, and learn. Why not join the early adopters of Learnist and request an invite today.

Excellent possibilities - seems like it will supersede such apps as Power point, slide share and live binder . This might be the one thing I concentrate on this year.

It would be great to hear more about what you do with Learnist as the year progresses.
