Blogs, Wikis, and RSS Feeds
| Workshop description |
A Blog (Weblog) is a Webpage made up of usually short, frequently updated posts that are arranged chronologically--like a what's new page or a journal. A Wiki is a composition system, a discussion medium, a repository, and a tool for collaboration that allows open editing. Wiki is Hawaiian for "quick?. RSS stands for Rich Site Summary or Real Simple Syndication. Subscribing to this special "news feed" allows the content to come to you instead of you going to it. In this workshop, you will learn what they are, how they work, and why you should use them. We will discuss definitions and benefits as well as look at examples and additional resources and identify ways to use them within Blackboard.

We highly recommend that you attend
prerequisite workshops, listed on the right,
since familiarity with the skills and concepts
taught in them is essential to benefit fully
from subsequent workshops.
However, if you have independently learned
the skills and concepts of the required
workshop(s), your "equivalent skills" will be
accepted as a substitute for attending the
prerequisite workshop(s).
To help you determine your skill level,
click the workshop titles on the right for
descriptions which outline the topics taught in
each workshop and that are assumed in later
sessions. You are expected to know the commands
and concepts listed within the descriptions for
the prerequisite workshop. In most cases, you
can also refer to workshop handouts and other
helpful materials from the workshop
description page.
In addition to any specific prerequisites
listed, you should have, as a minimum, basic
computing skills.
