A reading day.<\/p>\n
A recent report<\/a>\u00a0on developmental education in MN that has a bit of data on poverty.<\/p>\n Also, these videos<\/a>\u00a0that address interventions faculty use to help first-generation students at Heritage University in Washington.<\/p>\n And I'm bouncing around an ancient site, Communication Across Barriers,<\/a> that has wonderful information hidden behind a 10-year old site design and slow server.<\/p>\n Just starting to think about the info from these sources,\u00a0but right now I'm contemplating\u00a0website design and poverty. To the extent that people take web design as a proxy for intelligence, seriousness, credibility, or resource abundance (of the organization) to what degree do old or ill-designed website shape the reception of the information contained in them? Communication Across Barriers is a great example: smart people posting valuable resources, but the site looks largely as it may have in 2007 when it was copyrighted.<\/p>\n (Oh, I just used the waybackmachine of the Internet Archive<\/a>: I was right, exact same site design).<\/p>\n A silly and petty thing to notice, really, but I've been thinking about how design and data visualizations shapes our reception of information and perception of its importance.<\/p>\n Safe home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A reading day.
