How can we use these ideas
to engage students?
How can we improve upon dumping copies of content into new buckets every year?
The customized teaching environment
beyond listing their latest blog post
on the course website
Content resides in faculty's personal teaching environment
channels of content are fed to course contexts
Recontextualize
Feed it : RSS
- sustainable forestry
- readings
Tag it
and is continually tagged and re-tagged for each new context
- sustainable forestry
- field ecology
- sustainable forestry
- field ecology
- readings

How can we deliver content over feeds that needs to be protected?

What else can we achieve with tagging?
What might this look like?
Creative Commons content?
Moodle (399)
Wordpress (48)
LMS
Today's Faculty Experience
public web site
bookmark a link using Delicious
Faculty are juggling multiple sites
Course content resides in multiple locations:
LMS + a public web site per course
recreated anew each year
often times with the same content

http://blogs.evergreen.edu/sustainableforestry/
Or is it the Computer Center Leprechauns?
Moodle + WordPress (35)
on the web in a variety of web-based sites and services
Faculty are in the middle shuffling materials from one system to another
or
HTML (hand rolled) (44)
tag it with the course context:
Moodle + HTML (21)
Links magically appear on course website
after a little setup
the page where link should appear
use bundles and tag combinations to filter
embed the feed url in your page
using FeedList plugin for WordPress
