Media Lesson > Panel > New RSS Feed

This item allows you to embed an RSS feed in the Other Content panel.

An RSS Feed provides real-time information on web-based content as it is posted or edited. Typically, an RSS Feed will provide a short description of the content (or the first sentence or so of the text) and a link to the content. If the RSS Feed is for forum posts, it will usually also include the author's name.
