Yet in environments characterized by information overload\, mis/disinformation\, and GenAI–driven content production\, cu ration increasingly depends on ae less visible practice: deliberate ignori ng\, academically known as Critical Ignoring.\nThis seminar presents findi ngs from a qualitative study of Digital Curation practices in Wikipedia an d Wikidata\, focusing on how experienced contributors curate STEM-related content in real time. Using think-aloud interviews\, the study examines ho w strategies of critical ignoring (including self-nudging\, lateral readin g\, and strategic non-engagement) are enacted during authentic curation pr actices. The findings both corroborate and extend the existing framework b y highlighting additional\, practice-based strategies shaped by time\, exp ertise\, and sustained participation in Open Knowledge communities.\nThe s ession will reflect on what these findings reveal about learning while pra cticing Digital Curation\, considering the theoretical context of Personal ized Learning\, Critical Thinking and Collaborative Practices in the age o f GenAI. It will also invite discussion on how Critical Ignoring strategie s can be meaningfully integrated into the teaching and practice of Digital Curation.\n\n\n\nDr. Shani Evenstein Sigalov is an educator specializing in Technology &\; Learning\, researcher\, lecturer and Open Knowledge advocate\, just finishing serving for 6 years on the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation\, that supports Wikipedia and its sister projec ts globally.\nHer research focuses on the intersection between Education\ , Technology\, Innovation and Openness\, and she currently serves as a M arie Curie Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Digital Humanities Research Hub\, University of London. Her current project\, AI-BRIDGES\, explores h arnessing GenAI toward Cultural &\; Academic heritage preservation and accessibility\, through Linked Open Data (LOD) platforms\, like Wikidata a nd Wikibase.\nToday she will be sharing findings from her research on Crit ical Ignoring in Digital Curation processes. This research\, which was rec ently published in the “Smart Learning Environments”\, was conducted u nder the mentorship of Prof. Dina Tsybulsky\, as part of the Biology Educa tion Research Group at the Faculty of Education in Science and Technology. \n \;\n\n \;\n END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Asia/Jerusalem X-LIC-LOCATION:Asia/Jerusalem BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20251026T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0300 TZOFFSETTO:+0200 TZNAME:IST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
