New page for 'RSS feeds from learning object repositories'

I just noticed today that people still refer to the old page I built illustrating RSS feeds from known Repositories. That page was built on my old Radio site using a simple Radio macro that rendered RSS as HTML. Since then I’ve moved the site into MoveableType and onto another host, but I have only recently got around to recreating this page. This time, though, I did it using a public Bloglines page (one of the beauties of a web-based aggregator that lets you share!)

The new page illustrating the results of these feeds is at http://www.bloglines.com/public_display?username=EdTechPost&folder=322938. It’s actually pretty interesting to have them in one’s aggregator as you get a better sense of how regularly materials are being added (not that regularly). As before, the page includes feeds from:

• Campus Alberta Repository of Educational Objects (CAREO, http://www.careo.org/)
• Maricopa Learning Exchange (http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/mlx/index.php)
• The MedWeb Testbank Search (http://medweb5.bham.ac.uk/databases/interop/mcqs)
• Humbul database (http://www.humbul.ac.uk/help/rss.html)
• UK Centre for Materials Education (http://www.materials.ac.uk/index.asp)
• Edna Online (http://www.edna.edu.au)
• Merlot (http://www.merlot.org/)

Originally when I built this it was mostly to try and illustrate for myself the results and the utility of such feeds. The page is still fairly referenced, though, and so I have tried to add new ones as I find them. If you know of other Repositories that offer RSS feeds please let me know and I will add it to the list. Eventually I will decomission the old site, and will probably do something to re-direct this particular page.
