A gripe that I have with Blackboard is its lack of RSS feeds. Minimally I would like to subscribe to my Announcements, but that appears to be impossible. The only type of feed I could even find in BB is in the podcast section.

BlB also makes it difficult to include RSS feeds into course modules. I am not sure whether the RSS module with descriptions is the solution to my problem or would even work on Miami’s BB server. The only reason I would want to implement something like that is so I could aggregate the course’s announcements and posts from the course’s brand spankin’ new blog. Currently I use Google’s AJAX Feed API to grab the WordPress feed and put it in a permanent announcement.
