This is interesting. This scenario is something I have encountered myself in similar online classes. The problem I've encountered though is not so much inadequacy of feed readers but the lack of coordination of tags. | |||
The question this brings up to me is would this allow other users (instructor, other students) to tag User X's posts? Could some of those (the instructor) be designated as super-users (super-taggers)? [Is this too similar to what something like Delicious or Diigo already do?] | |||
Another question is would an instructor go to the bother? (Another big problem in my own experiences is that the instructors can't keep up with reading and responding much less re-tagging.:) | |||

Adding to Karen's comments, getting the balance right between complex features and very simple set-up will be crucial if you want to get more educators on board (beyond the edugeeks). Managing a tag library could be part of that set-up. The system could suggest a set of basic tags ("urgent", "a unique course ID", etc.) the same way diigo groups can have pre-defined tags. You will still need the students to tag their work correctly though. Or maybe you could pull all the feeds into one place, and then tag them there and push the tags back out to the blogs? Not sure how that would work ... | |||
Finally, I think it would be great if the emphasis could be placed on students reading other students' blogs and commenting, and if that interaction could be tracked. That way the lecture might have to do less reading herself, and the review/commenting activity of students could count towards a grade. | |||
I can't wait to get the first preview of this! | |||

As Kfasimpaur mentioned, somebody in the role of a maintainer, who ensures content is properly tagged so that posts and comments are correctly sorted to the correct areas in the reader, might be important. I feel that new users to the system would inevitably fail to tag content optimally. Despite this worry about the back end, this description of the front end is good. I would want to see the course components in a tag structure, such that I could view content different ways: course curriculum/course outline elements; student discussion threads intact or as a live feed on newest comments; student and teacher blogs; assignment-related content by assignment tag, collaborative notes from seminars (maybe this could be updates RSS feed from wiki), project workspaces (another RSS feed from a wiki?) Since you'd want to get the structure right and not miss any content, the class might need a maintainer of the "master copy" of the course. | |||
