This is kindofa rip off of earlier weblogs and rss lesson plans but I figured we need some quick 'Introduction to...' lessons which can familiarize learners with technologies and ideas that aren't so current (i.e. searching the web, email, web pages etc.)

Basically learners start to use an RSS reader to keep track of information you're posting as a teacher, course related information and developments and stuff they're interested in, with a few twists :o)

Academic Databases & RSS

Wouldn't it be wonderful if electronic academic databases had RSS feeds... think of all the extra business (sales etc.) that could drum up!

Aaron reflects on a week spent not so successfully blogging by learners and gives us some valuable reasons why: 

"Much of the recent inactivity on learner sites seemed to have stemmed from an uncertainty as to what was appropriate.  One learner felt intimidated and confused about what to post.  Another thought it was necessary to keep her posts academic and was spending 'three days editing' before posting... One learner stated that he was uncomfortable with how much to reveal about himself." [apcampbell News]

Pop over yerself to see some how Aaron's dealing with it... worth it!

What Wiki Works Best?

Sebastian asked in these comments "do you have any recommendations for a Wiki system?" which is well worth asking out loud here I think.

So... what wiki works best?

I don't really have an answer... but I think I can throw out some specs (I've had a play around with several and these have bee n important factors...

  • Free
  • Hosted by someone else (for us techno-dunces)
  • Multiple-edit-possible (i.e. if two people are editing at the same time one can't overwrite what the other has done)
  • Good lookin' (no TNR, please... please)
  • Easily backupable (for soft security purposes)
  • Solid... so everything doesn't disappear at a whim
  • RSSifyed (this is rapidly becoming a MUST)
  • A nice add-on would be the ability to secure pages if need be

I think I'm asking too much... am I?
