RSS feed and push technology

RSS feeds:
-  avoids manual inspection of all websites
 - it checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for  new work, downloads and updates that it finds
When registering with a website  and you select your categories of likes eg gardening; buying shares etc  it allows them to look at what you like  and send updates on that. For example the BBC sends regular push notifications on the changes of the news throughout the day. The Finance sector also provides regular push notifications on share prices based on your preferences which are timely.
Registering with Wellcome Centere or the Natural History Museum will allow them to send regular updates based on your interests which can be pushed to students.
Push technology is about send information to learners and getting them to follow your blog or podcasts or audioboos. Or if you post photographs on twitter or face book then friends and family can follow you and provide comments that can be exchanged with select groups.
Setting up a course blog and allowing access to students will pushrelevant information for them and it can also invite feedback.
