"What if civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks had given up her seat on the bus?" "Your roommate has the answer key to a test and has offered to share it with you. What do you do?"

These philosophical queries are two of many possible questions that will appear as a supplement to the common application for admissions to Tufts, beginning this fall. In addition to traditional methods of assessing a student[base ']s intellect, ingenuity, and leadership skills, which include the objective - standardized test scores and grade point averages - and the subjective - essays and letters of recommendation - this optional "pilot supplement" aims to paint a fuller picture of a student's creative potential.

A team at the Waterford Institute will lead a project entitled [OE]Multiple intelligences instructional design framework for virtual classes[base ']. Partners in Turkey, the UK, Cyprus and France as well as Waterford-based Multimedia Instructional Design Ltd and Blended Learning Design of Longford will also participate in the venture.

The research team will examine Prof Howard Gardner[base ']s theory of multiple intelligences, looking specifically at its application in an e-learning environment. Gardner has identified eight intelligences [^] logical, linguistic, interpersonal, musical, visual, bodily and natural. However, up to now this philosophy has been based on the traditional classroom setting.
