This interesting article asks the question of whether blogging software should be incorporated into course management systems. Most of the discussion involves giving students access to blogging systems. "As the desire to capture student work for class assessment builds, we may reach a time where we need to build the bridges between two important technologies." But it seems to me the far more valuable approach, and the one more likely to be used by students, is access to content feeds. Placing, for example, an Edu_RSS topic feed using Javascript (such as is provided on this page) is an easy way to provide students immediate access to timely resources.
