Social bookmarking is the online ‘library’ of tagged websites, which can be shared amongst users.
In E-learning social bookmarking can be used to share relevant websites between the lecturer and class. A great example of this is http://del.icio.us, which is a social bookmarking tool that will be used for E-learning purposes.Aggregation is the combination of web-feed updates into a ‘newsletter’ to reduce the time necessary to sift through and identify new information.
RSS is the abbreviation for Rich Site Summary and it is the technology that allows users to receive ongoing information about websites in the form of feeds, which the user subscribes to.RSS feeds are used in Elearning via the program Netvibes, which is an example of an aggregator. Netvibes receives the updates from all the feeds and as a result builds a page of feeds, which the owner has subscribed to. This can be used in E-learning as information can be quickly obtained through the constant updates, reflecting the flexibility of e-based learning.
