Sharing links to what you have read as an expert in your area of expertise can be a valuable knowledge-sharing activity for your colleagues and learners. However, sharing alone does not add any value and only becomes meaningful when you add your own knowledge and context to show the relevance and usefulness of the links. This is what curation means.

Selecting links/resources based on clear criteria and adding your own context/story to the chosen links enriches the quality of your course and saves you from having to create all-new content from scratch.

Learners value handpicked, curated content because curators are considered experts in their fields.

Create a content page, choose the Text layout, and select the Link (curation) content block. Then, insert a link and add your own explanation.

Note: If you update the curation title or description before changing the URL, the title and description you’ve added will remain unchanged. This ensures that your custom context stays intact. However, if you want the title or description to autofill based on the new URL, simply clear out the existing title and description fields before updating the link.

You can select the layout of your preference for the curation link: image on the left, image on the right, or link without image.

If you select a layout with an image, you can upload it from your PC, from your account library, from the stock library, or via a link. You can also resize and crop the image by clicking the image block and choosing the resize option from the toolbar.

For each link you share, we recommend explaining why you added it and what’s in it for others. This helps your readers to determine whether they want to read the resource.
