Information on RSS

Why should I know what RSS is?:
By means of RSS you will quickly and comfortably get information on modifications of forums and folders you have subscribed to. Just one look and you will see the titles of new entries as well as what has happend since your last login. Furthermore, you will receive relevant links in order to get directly to the new stuff in OLAT. All you need to get this service is the Internet address of the RSS files provided for you and a so-called RSS reader.

Where do I find this address of a RSS file?:
Click on the icon . A new window will be opened. Ignore the page's content and copy the URL to the temporary folder. Then paste the URL to your RSS reader.
