Hi Maria
   Not a class overview of such, but we have an "An Introduction To RSS And
News Feeds" briefing document which is freely available, with a Creative
Commons licence. See
http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/qa-focus/documents/briefings/briefing-77/

Some other stuff which may be of interest:

Use of RSS and OPML to syndicate all of the briefing documents:
