In the second week of class TAs conducted an in-lab exercise on “looking” wherein students were asked to divide into four groups of five and review the following web-sites.\u00a0 The group web-sites were carefully curated so that students would experience various formats and purposes.\u00a0 For example, each group has one musician, artistic or design ePortfolio that dealt with a specific discipline.\u00a0 Each group had various levels of ePortfolio success.\u00a0 As well, the ePortfolio’s in each group vary from full scroll to different content and section separations.\u00a0 All groups but one had a ‘resume’ section.<\/p>\n

\nIn your group, review your four assigned ePortfolios, with the goals of:<\/p>\n
\n(b) describing the effect of the choices made by each ePortfolio\u2019s author.<\/p>\n
\n
\nIn achieving these two goals, your group should engage with the all of following aspects:<\/p>\n
\nWhat aesthetic and\/or formal choices has each person made? What do these choices say about each person? How wide-ranging is the spectrum of aesthetic or formal choices\u2014that is, do all the sites look roughly the same, or are they vastly different?<\/p>\n
\nHow does each person represent themselves, both in a biographic statement (sometimes called \u201cAbout\u201d or \u201cBio\u201d) and through the site as a whole?<\/p>\n
\nWhat is notable about the heading and subheadings that are used? How does the organization of the site and the categories it uses contribute to your understanding of each person? How wide-ranging is the spectrum of heading and subheading choices\u2014that is, are all the sites organized in roughly the same way, or are they vastly different? Is there a pattern as to who choose what kind of heading?<\/p>\n
\nHow is the site structured? How does the navigation work? What does this structure say about the person who has made the site? How does it work in various displays?<\/p>\n
\nHow does the content of the text and images contribute to your understanding of the author?<\/p>\n
