Instead of both lecturer and student needing to manually click upon and visit every member's blog within their group, RSS feeds can put it all in one place. The first two feeds were creating simply by copying and pasting RSS urls into the RSS widget available upon every wiki page; the last feed was created using Yahoo Pipes. More about that below.

Example feed of a single blog:

Example feed of a single Twitter timeline:

Example mixed RSS feed of a mix of several blogs, a major medical news site, and a Twitter feed:

This feed was created using the Yahoo Pipes service, which I learnt how to use after watching the following five minute YouTube video. Such a service would be perfect to create a combined RSS feed of all student blogs and Twitters within a group or class, and each author is readily identifiable by their name beneath each entry. For a Faculty wiki, a feed could be used of all faculty staff blogs and both faculty and industry news updates, as well as a separate one of student work, encouraging an online community independent of particular courses. The possibilities are endless, and a wiki is a great spot to host it!
