<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Pat Lockley and Ron Mitchell will be leading the next Xerte
Friday session on RSS feeds. This is billed as a technical session but in
reality technical folk will be familiar enough with RSS but not necessarily how
to advise teachers to use it while teachers will be excited by possible teaching
uses if they only understood what it was and does. Consequently we think this
next Xerte session on Fri 29<sup>th</sup> at 1pm will be ideal for technical and
teaching staff to attend together if possible. We plan to cover the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoBodyText><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>RSS
feeds allow you to automatically gather content into a Xerte Learning Object
and also automatically alert learners when content updates. It also allows
different installations to dynamically share content using:<br>
Sitewide RSS feed - anyone can view your content - ideal for sharing for
consumption only - eg for marketing and awareness raising.<br>
Syndication feed - anyone can view your content <b>and </b>repurpose it for
their own needs - ideal for collaborative evolution of courses etc.<br>
<br>
Using external rss feeds with the main xot template rss page to create a
dynamically updated Xerte object.<br>
<br>
Automatic feeds on normal Xerte objects, using the Properties panel<br>
Using the sitewide RSS feed<br>
Using your own individual feeds<br>
Using your own folder feeds<br>
The sitewide syndication feed<br>
The sitewide export feed<br>
<br>
Creating your own RSS feeds using the The RSS Feed template - <br>
Using the feed template to make a course<br>
Using the feed template to distribute resources<br>
<br>
Additional benefits<br>
Using xot to display rss feeds in moodle topic area<br>
Updating learners automatically via Outlook or any other RSS feed reader.<br>
<br>
