RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated information on websites. It can be seen as a website news update which can be embedded in user home pages, used in an RSS feed reader, or saved as a bookmark.
As new information is published about the state of critical systems like Webcourses and WebCT@UCF, the RSS feed will automatically send you the information. RSS feeds exist for the TOL News and Events and System Status sections of the website.
There are many ways to subscribe to RSS feeds; web browser, e-mail or a specialized feed reader. Wikipedia maintains a list of all major feed readers.
Most web browsers offer the ability to view feeds directly by just clicking on the feed link. Once on the feed page, it can be saved as a bookmark for frequent reference.
Most email clients allow the use of RSS feed reader integration either directly or by means of an installed plug-in.
A feed reader is a program devoted solely to the purpose of reading feeds and usually has specialized uses.
The following is a list of RSS feeds to various sections of this site that will allow you to get the most up-to-date information on the status of each system that is used as well as new information that becomes available on each website.
