RSS4Lib: RSS Book Publishing Timeline – This reminded me that you could use RSS to handle the time release of complex material like a casebook, or course material generally. Profeessor would create the feed and add material to it based on the syllabus. Students would subscribe to the feed and receive the material in their aggregator on a day determined by the professor. Thie needs to be an eLangdell feature. Prof creates online syllabus, adds course material to the syllabus, cases ,statutes, etc. for reading. Dates are selected to release the material via RSS feed. Students get an aggregator and subscribe to the feed. The aggregator grabs the materials on the selected date and makes it available to the student. No need to visit a website, follow a blog or anything. Coolness.
