This video shows an embedded Zoho Notebook inside Desire2Learn. Zoho Notebook is a powerful and unique tool that allows you to make mashups of any type of web content and place that content anywhere on the different pages of the notebook. Audio, video, webpages, embed code from various sites, file attachment, images, text, etc. etc. Very cool indeed.

Embedding an RSS Feed of your Shared Items from Google Reader allows you to keep fresh content available inside your course. This is a live web page that allows students to read the content at the source item (blog post or website, etc) or read the item in Google Reader. Either way it is all delivered right inside their course.
