ePortfolio Designing an E-Portfolio Template: We Reflect on Our own Artifact. We thought we would get a head start on the exchange of reflective artifacts by posting ours to the Wiki. This time around, we decided to take a different approach to the reflective artifact activity. Instead of discussing student work, we analyzed a portfolio template that we created for the Expository Writing Program. In the attached report, we talk about how the findings from our earlier research informed the design of this artifact, which will be used in our current study. We look forward to hearing your thoughts and to hearing about your work. Cara Lane & Janice Fournier [National Coalition for Electronic Portfolio Research blogs] 10:54:52 PM    comment

discrimination Why the Pretty Prosper. We might not be able to resist a pretty face after all, according to a report from the University of Pennsylvania. Experiments in which subjects were given a fraction of a second to judge "attractiveness" offered further evidence that our preference for beauty might be hard-wired. People who participated in the studies were also more likely to associate pretty faces with positive traits. [Science Blog -] 10:48:30 PM    comment
