Knowledge, Learning, Community
A couple of things in this short item. First is the author's reference to the 'distributed query' and the role RSS plays in it. Second, those of us who have been involved in the field of learning objects will get a chuckle out of this quote: "Adam explains how and why RSS, in particular, provides the necessary traction: It's like Lego. When I was a small kid I used to play with these blocks... The cool thing about RSS, as people are discovering, is that the blocks start to be able to plug into each other because pretty much everyone can extrude something where they understand enough of the shape and how to consume it..." This, of course, is exactly how learning objects were supposed to work.
