This name is not intuitive.]]> 2021-12-03 19:15:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ruth54/yegrg4lxcl9q5262/wish/1928016113 "Name up to 5" is insightful https://padlet.com/ruth54/yegrg4lxcl9q5262/wish/1928017840 Very customizable, allows "bite sized" takeaways and prompts student reflection on their skills and competencies.]]> 2021-12-03 19:16:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ruth54/yegrg4lxcl9q5262/wish/1928017840 Precise terminology is key https://padlet.com/ruth54/yegrg4lxcl9q5262/wish/1928020644 For a range of reasons, including legal. "Rankings" vs. "file read" need to be clarified.]]> 2021-12-03 19:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ruth54/yegrg4lxcl9q5262/wish/1928020644 Integration is important https://padlet.com/ruth54/yegrg4lxcl9q5262/wish/1928023928 Hard for admissions officers to toggle between interfaces. Evaluation is time-consuming, so ease of use is a high priority. May want to follow-up to explore back-end in detail. It is high priority for the student experience to be integrated/seamless, as well.]]> 2021-12-03 19:20:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ruth54/yegrg4lxcl9q5262/wish/1928023928 Design for ease of Matching / Integration https://padlet.com/ruth54/yegrg4lxcl9q5262/wish/1928025774 Including: ID number and spelling of students' name]]> 2021-12-03 19:21:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ruth54/yegrg4lxcl9q5262/wish/1928025774 Less useful - Validation https://padlet.com/ruth54/yegrg4lxcl9q5262/wish/1928071848 I am not a fan of validation because it leads to inequities and lag time for submission from a processing standpoint. It is one of the age-old questions in college admissions - "who submitted this essay?" And we cannot put that burden on the public. There are ways that you can train your readers on authenticity, fluff/filler, overly packaged, etc. If anything, the portfolio has better allowed us to see authentic work and to know when the works is likely not the students because the reflection is key. ]]> 2021-12-03 19:54:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ruth54/yegrg4lxcl9q5262/wish/1928071848 Integration with Common & Coalition App https://padlet.com/ruth54/yegrg4lxcl9q5262/wish/1928076722 For Michigan Ross, applicants submit their portfolio after their Common App and Coalition App is submitted. It is not integrated within either platform for our current use. This means that fee waivers do not transfer over. And when you have two programs someone can accidentally apply under the other application program and not be matched up correctly. -Blaire]]> 2021-12-03 19:58:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ruth54/yegrg4lxcl9q5262/wish/1928076722
