ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses how to use three different tools, namely Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds, flipboard and storify to create open educational resources (OERs) consisting of curated digital media. The primary tasks to consider when curating digital media are collecting the digital media, organizing it in a meaningful way, and sharing it with others. RSS is a type of web syndication that allows content from one website to be available on other sites or applications. Feedly is an example of an aggregator. It allows a user to create collections of information from various websites by subscribing to RSS feeds from these websites. Flipboard is primarily an app-based tool that provides users with a platform to create and view digital magazines from various social media tools and web-based media. Storify can be used as a web-based tool or as an iOs or Android app to create stories from various media found on the internet.
