Group assignment 1 - RSS Feeds
Question 5 - What are the learning opportunities available?
Not sure what this question meant exactly - did it mean what learning opprotunities are available to learn about RSS Feeds and how to use them or did it mean What can we get out of using RSS Feeds - anyway I have taken approach 2
I have answered this question by focusing on what learning opportunities I have experienced in just the last couple of weeks. As I see it RSS Feeds are becoming a more popular way of promoting a site and its content. Users can select the feeds they want to view whilst providers can select the feeds they want to promote.
RSS feeds are also becoming an accepted viable alternative to troublesome emails, with their Spam laden content being difficult to manage.
I have done some research into the benefits of using RSS feeds and summarise some of the learning opportunities as follows:-
a) Responsibility – It takes discipline and responsibility for regular updates
b)Communication – The possibilities for spreading the communications network is there for the taking
c)Technology – (The ever advancing field of technology) every needs to stay current and RSS feeds are one way of achieving this whilst at the same time getting to grips with the actual technological specifications.
d)English literacy – Not sure if in the age of technology English grammar is a real must (Shame) however, editing of information does call for a degree of literacy.
e)Keyboard skills – Not only do we improve our knowledge of technology but our keyboard skills are continuously practiced.
f) Wider user base – RSS can reach many different user groups allowing free choice for the viewer to select a site of more relevance to them
We learn so much from using RSS because the kind of information content has no barriers. RSS Feeds can be used to deliver information through Blogs, Forums, Scheduled events, Retail or special feeds such as an Amazon search feed used to notify when specific new items are added, and of course news feeds to keep you up to date with what’s going on in the world.
