Portfolios to share

Colleagues:

It's a bit premature, perhaps, as I'm still getting materials in from students, but here's a couple of preliminary student portfolios to check out from the MTEC Showcase.

Kristine Discala sent these revisions of Design #1 along.

tk20

I have just looked at the tk20 website. They list of 30 colleges/universities who use their software. It might be beneficial to speak to someone at these institutions as to their evaluation/impressions of tk20---as well as anyone else.

Yay cohort!

Thank you, Steve, for setting up the blog! Thank you, Ruth, for sharing so much great information at today's meeting.

We're gaining momentum. Jim Towey came in to 318 after you all left and he is interested in connecting the RIMY grant to MePort as well.

I will blog more later!
best,
Nancy

Logos - Reidy #1

Today, we identified three logos that had elements we liked. This logo is "Reidy #1":



This one is "Discala #1":



This one is "Discala #2":



We liked elements of each: The subtitle of Reidy #1, the elevated text of Discala #1 and the circled, reversed text of Discala #2. I will get back to the designers with more detailed comments and ask them to submit new logos.
