NewzCrawler

A D C Software, May 13, 2002

I'm just playing around with this in my office (instead of doing my work, as I'm supposed to). NewzCrawler is a desktop application that scans news sites and reports on new items of interest. Navigation is via a left hand topic based menu and by a pop-up news alert service. Of course, there is no reason why such an application should be restricted to news: wouldn't it make a great tool for scanning learning object repositories and retrieving new learning objects? Things like this application - as opposed to, say, big centralized learning management systems - is the future of education.
