To Try: Content Curation
There are is a wide range of digital sources of information. Online curation resources, such Popplet, folder structure on your computer, Pinterest etc. allow you to manage this information. You can use them to collect a range of resources under a certain topic, organise or tag them in a manner that makes sense to the curator, reflect on their usefulness and share them with others.
If you have not already done so, create an account for a curation tool. Use the selected tool to manage the different digital sources of information. Then start collecting resources, organise them, reflect on them and share them. It is important to not forget the social aspect of these curation tools. Although you might prefer to work alone, together in a team you can curate and build a collaborative list of useful resources that you can consult together with your peers.
Link appropriate sources within your curation tool to the particular LMS course you want to use it in or find a way to export it. Then the LMS becomes the curation tool for your course.
