Participatory Curation
Learner-Generated Contexts GroupCame together in 2006 to develop post-Web 2.0 models of learningCreated Open Context Model of Learning 2007; a multi-context open pedagogy to help design learning in new contexts like cities…Ambient Learning Manchester; can #socialmedia transform contexts so learning can take place everywhere?Open Context Model of Learning
Participatory Curation
What is aLearner-Generated Context?
”A Coincidence of Motivations leading to Agile Configurations”
Or new open Partnerships leading to new social Processes…
Participatory Curation
What is an Ambient Learning City?
A new layer of the City, not a property
An affordance of new, social media
Enabling post-institutional emergence
Supporting context-responsive learning
An open, adjacent platform that may allow
transformation to the network society
BUT Ambient Learning City was designed
to test multi-context learning so Mosi-Along
Social Cities of Tomorrow
Participatory Curation
Mosi-Along in Manchester
Partnership linking Manchester University,
MOSI (Museum of Science & Industry),
Community Centres (ArcSpace, MadLab),
Community Learning (LSEN, Libraries)
Social Media (People’s Voice Media)
Social Groups (Salford History Group)
Cultural Spaces (Cornerhouse) for…
Digital Storytelling about economic
histories creating possible futures
Participatory Curation
Learner-Generated Context Research Group interested in;
”Problematising the context space & inventing new
solutions”
Creating Development Frameworks
Participatory Curation
#MosiAlong project Manchester
The project rethought cultural relationships
between community & institution with;
Participative curatorial strategies using
Social objects (Nina Simon);
“Social objects (owned by participants) are
transactional, facilitating exchanges among
those who encounter them” enabling an
“object-centred sociality” (Engestrom)
Allowing redefinition of storytelling tropes
The Participatory Museum
Participatory Curation
New metaphors / new relationships
The Participatory Curation problem is;
Cultural participation prescribed by experts
Promoting expertise-centred hierarchies
We needed new metaphors as well as
A cultural object-centred sociality
We needed to learn anew how to design for
city-centric emergent processes,
Using *new* metaphors such as…
Everything is a Metaphor
Participatory Curation
Why Digital Cabinets of Curiosities?
1. Cabinets of Curiosities predate Museums
2. Then; New Artefacts! New collections!
Promoting New futures! A mystical fascination
3. Now; museums curate & codify traditional
collections. Promoting old histories :-(
Let’s build Digital Cabinets of Curiosities
Rewrite our narrative relationships with cultural
objects that we own and choose to share…

Participatory Curation
New Metaphors New Narratives;
Examples in Social Media Festival 9/2011
1. Films about Digital Cabinets of Curiosities
2. Manchester Ship Canal Artefacts on Facebook
3. A realtime History of Manchester in 100 Objects
(Google Doc celebrating Manchester positively
during riotous times)

to capture emergent behaviour such as

This is the point at which learning pathways are embedded:
a point of tension between the informal and formal
Analysis of critical issues in moving informal interest-driven activities into formal structured processes
Participatory Curation
Mosi-Along Project learnt that;
Learning can be context-responsive BUT you
have to create new processes for new contexts
Culture is based on old narrative histories
Social media allow new narratives
People relate through networks/communities,
Cities are built on institutional public spaces
We need networks that allow personal stories
to be re-written in new digital public spaces

Ambient Learning City; Networks
Smart Cities / Networked Society / Participative
Democracy
So these require us to ask new questions of;
existing institutions, social relations & the
power structures of democracy & knowledge
We need to put context back into knowledge
Cities have multiple ambient contexts which
can both allow & support new answers;
If we design for appropriation by our citizens
Participatory Curation
Emergent Learning Model;
A new underpinning model of smart learning
Post-Bologna process for i2020 integrating;
Informal; self-organising smart mobs
Non-formal; content-curation as learning
Formal; post-hoc accreditation
OR
Smart Mobs + Everything is Miscellaneous =
Here Comes Everybody
