This item from Scott Leslie's EdTechPost points to some of the interesting connections between Learning Object Repositories (LORs) and RSS feeds. _____ RSS feeds from Learning Object Repositories - Known Examples. This links to a page I've built which aggregates RSS feeds from all of the LORs that I know of that produce them. There's been a lot flying around recently concerning the use of RSS to syndicate RLOs. I've been trying to wrap my head around the implications but haven't fully managed to. This list, rather than being an attempt to create some sort of authoritative resource on the subject, is instead a way for me to see with my own eyes, all in one place, the results of current efforts to match RSS technology with LORs/RLOs. I need to do this because when the topics get this complex, my brain seems to need to work at the problem from both ends - both by trying to construct a theoretical model of the problem based on my understanding of the issues, the technologies and concepts at play, and also by literally looking at examples of what exists or what a solution could look like and then trying to bring these two together into some fit. In any case, that's my motivation for throwing this together. - SWL [EdTechPost] 9:05:46 AM    COMMENT []
