Knowledge, Learning, Community
This session was the highlight of the Merlot conference for me, and as I looked around the audience I saw about half of them stunned at what they were seeing and about half nodding enthusiastically. The three authors put together a smooth story of how two university instructors can use RSS in a practical, day-to-day, manner with a minimum of work. They demonstrated some subject-specific resource pages and showed how RSS could enable cross-domain resource sharing. We need to talk a bit about trackback - while the idea is sound, there are better ways to approach this. Their presentation, available here, contains a lavish selection of links and examples. Linger, and enjoy.
