After observing some examples of E-portfolios of Dr. Padovan, grad and undergrad students, I have come to a few conclusions and opinions. I could definitely tell the difference between a professional (Dr. Padovan), the grad and then undergrad students, the undergrad students had the least amount of effort put into their E-portfolios. This leads me to wonder why that could be? Was this something that was a grade or just a personal projects? I definitely am not saying this to bash them - because all of the websites I viewed were still full of quality. I would also like to say that in no way do I think my website is better than anybody else's - I simply am making observations.
Which leads me to my other big conclusion and opinion, it is pointless to make a digital platform or do any of this work if you don't put effort into both content and appearance. Obviously one of our biggest grading points is to make sure that it's user friendly or easy to use and find content. However, I think that if the way that the site or work appears isn't also visually appealing then the reader will not become engaged and then become bored. Think of it like your 'hook' in a lesson plan, this is our way to draw the students into what they're learning and pique their interest. Obviously this is my opinion and even my own self isn't perfect at this. However, I wonder what everyone else thinks, do appearances matter in this case?
