In days of old, when blogging online involved stuffing keywords, duplicating existing articles, and a small measure of personalized content, search engines permitted a broad and general approach to website design, content and focus. But search engines evolved and grew. Intelligent search algorithms reshaped the age of information sharing. Readers learned to demand and to expect better management, grouping and presentation of data resources. Sharing digital data now demands a new level of expertise.
Originally coined in 1956 by John McCarthy, the term artificial intelligence (AI) proposed a form of computer logic that would enable machines to simulate and amplify the human ability to group knowledge and understanding into a presentable format. The concept gained momentum and now the underlying coding seems almost alive. Modern search engines seem to read the mind of the seeker.
When web tools combine SEO technology with fingertip access by information curators, the gathering and sharing of relevant information provides a unique setting for:
- Group activities
- Sharing professional reading materials
- Tracking online research projects
- Sharing reading lists
- Organized content management
- Professional marketing
- AND Focused presentation of the “collective intelligence” available on the Internet.
Throughout the world, universities, government agencies and curators of general blogging online resources use content curation tools. At the iTeachU Instructor training online from the University of Alaska Fairbanks the core focus of the program takes advantage of curated content and the associated benefits of search engine optimized AI. The results include improved participation and reader response.
