RSS Feeds in our Learning Environment

Well, I must admit I am a RSS Feed convert. I love it and have been sharing it everyone I know.

When thinking about how it could be used in our learning environment, I don't it could easily be leveraged by our learners. Many don't have Internet access (with the exception of a few selected sites) and most of our courses are quite structured and do not require the collection of information from outside sources. However, I can see it being used by individuals within our Training & Development team (i.e. the ones who write and develop the courses).

Assuming we subscribe to relevant sites/blogs, I see value in keeping up to date on the e-learning technologies we use, as well as, gathering ideas for making our learning more meaningful, memorable and motivational. Getting new ideas from outside "our little world" may provide new opportunities to engage our learners or even experiment with a new technique.
