This is the second in a series of four blog posts to summarise the first ‘proof of concept’ innovation project.
Approach
The second stage of the project created a means by which an educator can create and publish their own custom learning identity for others to view and use via the myedna feed-stitcher. They can thus manage their many digital contributions and resources from websites, forums, lists, LMS, flickr, del.icio.us into a variety of aggregated RSS feeds.
What we did
- Created an RSS feed-stitcher which aggregates and filters multiple RSS feeds based on tag and keyword. [Note on the day of the presentation, Yahoo announced Yahoo! Pipes which has the same concept.]
- Integrated the feed stitcher into the myedna portal page.
- Developed the concept of republishing stitched RSS feed output in multiple formats – the example used was the business card.
Innovations
- Provided educators with the capability to publish their stitched feed / profile to many formats based on a simple URL scheme.
- Deportalisation – extending the above concept - educators can break free from the edna website with their feed delivered to digital devices such as mobile phone, PDA, email, desktop gadget, or iTunes.
