Whether it is via RSS, ICS, or even e-mail. It's about letting people know that something has changed. It's cliche, but information is power and often, I find, that people just don't check because they don't think something changed. Like RSS is perfect, it's the reason I'm back here commenting on your comment. Yeah, anyway that you can syndicate content. Whether it is via RSS, ICS, or even e-mail.

That is sort of the idea behind the homepage portal project. I think it would be awesome if class websites and eposts offered RSS, which could then be picked up by the student's custom homepages. Anyway it's just one idea for now. Hopefully some more ideas will come rolling in. I agree with you about the tying the tools together. That is sort of the idea behind the homepage portal project.

But, the dealbreaker isn't that the school offers them, but that they are easy to use for all students. Like, ePost is great, but it is so featureless that it can be a pain to use. Now, I think that WebQ 3.0 is a step in the right direction, but you could develop the bestest project management system for students and if it was hard to use it just wouldn't get used. But, I don't doubt that it will be this way with you on the job, right? Anyways, I think the project management software is pretty all emcompassing of the 3 others that you listed. Because it could handle document sharing, and you could make a portal as a part of it and then you could have it support collaborative writing. But, what would be cool is if you developed all of these tools, separately, and then have a way to tie them together, that would be powerful. Really powerful, IMO.
