RSS is a web based application that enables users to recieve news and update directly to the page they want it sent to rather than viewing the website itself. The way that this occurs is that RSS aggregates information from the websites that get updated and send it through your preferred web page or home page.

 RSS can be used in this subject in numerous ways. We can use RSS to update students with new articles that get added onto learning circuits, use RSS for updating students on changes and updates that have been made by fellow students of wikispaces, and use RSS to receive information on articles that may help us with our assignments.

The aggregation of material is referring to simply putting together or gathering information into a space you allocate the particular information to go into.  It pretty much consolidates information from a number of web pages and gathers all relevant information that is selected through RSS into one web page. Again, aggregation can be used in this subject to put all articles relevant to assignments into one web page, which will make it easier for us when we need to do our assignments.
