With the launch of BlackBoard 9.1 at the University of Leicester, this saw the introduction of the Module Page. These pages are made up of widgets for example course announcements, dictionary, calculator and information on how to use Blackboard. However one seemingly useful widget that hasn't yet been developed by BlackBoard is an RSS widget.
Fortunately IT Service have developed such a widget. At this stage it not openly available to insert and just drop in a feed URL, but can be requested if you get in touch with IT Services.
The example shown here is of the forthcoming Postgraduate Training populated by a feed from PROSE, this has been placed in a Research Essentials Online course.
