Web trends to watch for in 2007. I agree with their prediction that RSS will become mainstream this year, with Vista and IE 7 finally embracing it. What will be funny is watching the organization that I work for once again scramble to embrace this ‘new’ technology! I have some great ideas on how to use RSS in our Learning Management System. Feeds to inform students of announcement postings, conference board activity, and other occurrences in the online classroom would be a great way to increase the interaction in the online classroom. Blackboard already has an RSS building block that allows instructors to bring feeds into classrooms. I am not sure if it supports RSS as a way to push classroom activity directly to the student. This is what I would find useful, and is the type of functionality I plan to implement in my Master’s Thesis Project.
