Description:

The effective practice of embedding iframe news ticker or news wall feeds into discussions or assignments addresses the need to update resources for case study or discussion assignments using real world examples. Also known as RSS feeds, these services are also incredibly cost efficient, because a single licensed user can create the requested RSS feed topic in just minutes and then share back the iFrame code or embed it on behalf of the instructor. Using this content in course discussion boards is a highly effective practice in familiarizing students with current events within a topic or industry, since they will not only read and write about a current news event, but will also read and respond to classmates who are contributing current events summary and analysis.
