WebCT's PowerLink is delivering up-to-the-minute learning object links directly to WebCT courses with the help of RSS technology. RSS (or "really simple syndication") is a web content syndication format commonly used by online news and stock tickers and the weblog community. The links point to RSS feeds from the MERLOT (Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching) clearinghouse of learning objects such as animations, simulations, case studies, and tutorials in 15 subject areas from biology to world languages. Instructors can now get immediate access to the newest learning objects in their areas of interest. Most links are available within 15 minutes of being posted to MERLOT.
