Q. As a student, how would you use an RSS feed for research? Name a website in your program or major that has an RSS feed that would be helpful to you.

Ans.

As a student, the process of researching would be greatly enhanced. RSS feeds provide the updates that have been performed on a website. If a website is used for the purpose of research, then it would become very easy to update the research material, because when anything is updated on the website, then it is notified by the RSS feeds and so the researcher can visit the website for the updated content. www.bbc.co.uk is a website that used RSS feeds to notify of updates. By using the RSS feeds, a student can quickly find what he is looking for without the need to visit multiple websites. Moreover, it becomes easier to acquire the most up to date information.
