Introducing Industry Curation as a model – the best of all worlds

Industry Curation aims to reveal meanings and relationships through the use of original objects. This is done

by first-hand experienceand by illustrative media as well as the communication of factual information.

It is derived from the idea of heritage interpretation. Heritage interpretation is used to communicate the

nature, origin, and purpose of historical, natural, or cultural resources, objects, sites and phenomena using

personal or non-personal methods. Examples include audio tours of well-known tourist spots or information

boards at national parks, or at Te Papa museum, where displays are interpreted for a wide audience.

At the Open Polytechnic, we can use this model to curate a specific industry. Any industry is easily defined by

key areas or themes. Business, for example, is likely to have these key areas, for example: Insurance,

Marketing, Accounting, Small business, HR, Finance and Legislation.Each of these is then defined around the

mechanisms used to implement these areas/themes. This part of the Framework would be presented in the

form of a website.

The website would funnel potential students towards educational qualifications. This part of the model is

where the Learning Management System starts. It would include information about qualifications, careers,

pathways, enrolment into educational institution and ePortfolio facilities. This is where people are able to

sign up to start collecting artifacts, collate assessment activities and engage with industry and education

organisations. It is important to note that this web presence does not require enrolment or application to

the institution. It is a free access service. It is envisioned that the ePortfolio element could be offered for

Learners to begin their collection of artefacts prior to committing to enrolling for the qualification. This

allows people to ‘get familar’ with the Industry area without having to commit to enrolling to discover that it

may or may not be their ‘cup of tea’.

How it works

Describe

Define

Interpret

Support

Educate

Every element, artifact or concept is

explored in depth.

Describe the artifact in such a

way that it provides a clear

idea of where it sits in the

industry

Define the artifact’s

characteristics

Interpret the artifact for

someone who has never

encountered it before

Support the use or

understanding of the artifact

with an interactive tool that

can be used in the industry

(app for mobile device or

desktop), or provide an

interactive experience that

better supports the

understanding of the artifact

(video, learning object, drag-

drop, etc)

Educate the users through

activities and provide an

ePortfolio element

Example – Human Resources element of Business Management in New

Zealand

• Describe Human Resources in relation to Legislation

– Current legislation and its effect on Business Management

– Where legislation related to HR starts (parliament), by whom (legislators, lobbyists)

and how (legislation process), Acts and regulations, etc

• Define Human Resources in relation to its characteristics

– (this is where we need the Business team to help!)

• Interpret Human Resources in a simple manner that the average person can understand

– Take both Describe and Define and give it some wording that makes it easier to

understand.

– Interpretation includes current practices, history, tensions, influences, new models,

future trends

– Using rich media will assist in this part

• Support this artifact with examples

– This area is where Effective Practice is demonstrated and advocated by the Industry

– Provide templates of documents that can be re-purposed by anyone

– Provide interactive tools that capture data, such as Apps, interactive PDF, web

forms, etc.

• Educate people in how to gain qualifications in HR

– Careers in HR

– Pathways to gaining a qualification using the Business Management in New Zealand

curation site

– Enrolment in relevant course (courseware as facilitation guide)

– Assessable activities that can be saved to an ePortfolio (provided by the OP or

individuals own)
