CURATE! The Digital Curator Game
McCadden, Katie; Schreibmann, Susan; Edmond, Jennifer; Fernie, Kate; Usher, Carol
The CURATE game is designed to be used as an exercise that prompts players to put themselves into digital project scenarios in order to address issues and challenges that arise when institutions engage with digital curation and preservation.
Developed as a means to highlight the importance of training in digital curation among practitioners and managers working in libraries, museums and cultural heritage institutes, the game has been used as a self-assessment tool, a team-building exercise and a training tool for early career students.
The CURATE game package includes:
- Welcome to CURATE Presentation
- Game Board (PDF)
- Game Cards (PDF)
- About the Game (PDF)
- Rules (PDF)
- Record Sheet & Closing Questions (PDF)
- Frequently Asked Questions (DoC)
The DigCurV project was funded by the European Commission's Leonardo da Vinci programme.
