Laura Gibbs (Twitter)pinging @btopro ...do you know about @Inoreader? it's like the old Google Reader plus the old Yahoo Pipes for remixing (INCREDIBLE remixing) of RSS feeds that you can then send back out as RSS or as HTML clips, which is how I get my blog network to display in different web spaces

Much like your version piped into an LMS, it could be used used to create a planet of all of the participants in a course, but set up in such a way that only one person needs to create and maintain an OPML file that everyone else can use instead of needing to manually find and subscribe to a bunch of feeds or worry about missing out on that one feed of the student who joined the course two weeks late.
As an example, here’s an OPML file on my own website (through my following page) of all the educators I’m following who are tangentially involved in the IndieWeb movement. If you subscribe to the OPML file in Inoreader, when I update it with additional feeds, you get all the changes synced automatically.
I’d be interested to see exactly how you’re using Inoreader–particularly the off-label methods. Have you written up any of the details anywhere? It looks like you’re using tags in Inoreader and piping those details back to the LMS so that you can filter portions of the class content?
I recently documented some of my personal use here: Using Inoreader as an IndieWeb feed reader. A big portion of it is about being able to use Inoreader to interact within its interface, but also have those interactions reflected on my own website (aka digital commonplace book) which sends notifications to the original content on the web instead of just leaving it siloed within Inoreader.
yes! I used that for a Rhizo event a few years ago. for my purposes, the HTML clippings for folders/tags are what work best, but the dynamic OPML is really cool also! I am huge fan of Inoreader; my students choose whatever blog platform they want, and I pull all the RSS together
We should encourage them to maintain ownership of their own work.
choose their own platform, own their own work: I vote yes! 🙂
So there’s a good group going here. Do any of you teach associated with. That ownership about permanence in the digital age? I’ve only seen it come up a few times but sustainable tech selectors build a more open tomorrow
Not just students teachers too. Everybody has to understand that giving away work product is not a good idea. Particularly text.
Greg McVerry and I did a course last summer that leveraged Webmention so that students could own and control their own identities and data.
From a broader perspective, the Domain of One’s Own and the IndieWeb movements are set up to help empower not just students and teachers, but all people to be able to own their domains, own their data, and better interact and communicate online.
There’s and upcoming Domains conference in early June in Durham, NC and the big IndieWeb Summit is in Portland in late June.
You’ll probably have noticed by now that I own my own data and online identity. Everything I post online originates from a site I own and control and then gets syndicated out to others.

I will see you at #Domains19 🙂
Another example @bob_calder may appreciate: He’s generally interacted with me via Google+ which is shutting down, but I’ve kept a copy of everything I’ve posted there (and his and others’ replies and reactions) on my own site.

Incidentally one of his “likes” from Google+ was one of the first 200 comments/reactions on my website back in 2014.
