Video Showcase for ELA Media Curators



The Media Development Centre within the Curriculum team hosted a video showcase to celebrate the finale of our pilot project- English Language Arts Media Curation (MD0001). Thank you to all CEFL faculty and the Learning Resource Services department who joined us for the event!

 Media curation is the art – rather than the act – of sorting out the vast amounts of educational videos on YouTube and organizing them around a specific educational topic in a coherent way. 

We thought that a video showcase was a great way to celebrate all the hard work our English language arts instructors have done as media curators. Please watch Focus Brings Success PPT to learn more about media curation. 


For the past four months five ELA instructors, including Jennefer Rousseau, Susan Lemmer, Murray Ronaghan, Meghan Clayton, and Tasha Nott, have been searching for effective instructional videos on YouTube. As a result, there are currently 6 playlists with over 30 instructional videos residing on the CEFL YouTube channel. This pool of videos, divided into specific courses, is now available for all ELA instructors’ use.  

  During the event, Jennefer, Susan, and Murray shared their experiences as media curators, and talked about the challenges and benefits of the project. They also addressed specific videos and explained their choices (see the best curated videos here). 


The Media Development team would like to thank all English Language Arts media curators who participated in the project and made it successful!
