Curate Like A Pirate has nothing to do with your organization attacking and robbing ships. It has everything to do with the spirit of pirates. Should you choose content that is elementary for those just entering the profession? Should the content be advanced? Should education programming offer only relevant content or the most popular content? After adopting a pirate-spirit that embraces the pirate code and that commits to the voyage you'll be able to discover how to select the right content for the right audience at the right time. After attending this session, the participant will be able to: 1) Identify four traits of curation that you should implement when selecting content for education programming. 2) Discuss the pros and cons of only offering content that meets your members’ current needs. 3) Evaluate the differences between offering relevant or popular content for your customers.
