I have never heard of the word "curation" used in an educational context before. The writer of the article makes a useful context to understand the term by bringing up the idea of a museum curator. Upon reading through the article, it seems the idea of "curation" of knowledge seems rather obvious. Learning does not necessarily occur when one simply collects facts without synthesizing them and turning them into meaningful elements within a context.
