What I Want for the New Year...

... is to find a way of using the lazyweb effectively to get all those OpenLearn tools I really want to play with built quickly...

For starters:

• an RSS2wikitext converter, that will allow me to use webfeeds to seed a set of wiki pages; one feed item per page, all automatically linked; the first use case I have is to import some RSSified OpenLearn content into a wiki, of course ;-) The current OpenLearn/LabSpace remix strategies are not for the public - it'd be interesting to see what level of engagement/maintenance/updating of the content we could achieve if the content was wikified rather than moodled...
• OpenLearn content tagging: obviously...

Comments I've had back to date on the OpenLearn Daily Learning Chunks via RSS demo have been really encouraging so far, as well as constructive (e.g. Google Reader gets a bit confused with some of the styling and new feed items are delivered in 24 hour cycles rather than at midnight of the next day, for example).

If anyone else has any thoughts on the feedcycle approach to course delivery, please let me know...

(yeah, like, whatever...)
