The Daily News option allows instructors/authors to curate their own newspaper using RSS feeds, selecting and declaring any desired number of feeds through the authoring environment. Periodically, the Daily News fetches new articles from these feeds, updating the content to reflect the latest news and information.
In this article, we will delve into the process of activating, setting up, and presenting the Daily News option to your users.
