A população idosa composta por lésbicas, gays, bissexuais e transgêneros (LGBT) vem aumentando nas últimas décadas não somente pela redução da mortalidade na infância e vida adulta, mas pelo melhor acesso aos serviços de saúde (Kimmel, 2015). Apesar dos avanços das leis que garantem iguais direitos as pesssoas de diferentes orientações sexuais, as pessoas idosas LGBT ainda é uma categoria pouco visível entre os pesquisadores da Geriatria e da Gerontologia. Deste modo, a presente resenha apresentará o livro “The lives of LGBT older adults: understanding challenges and resilience” que foi organizando pelas pesquisadoras americanas Nancy A. Orel (Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH) e a Christine A. Fruhauf (Department of Human Development & Family Studies, Colorado State University), trata-se de uma publicação pioneira e alvissareira que busca preencher a escassez de publicações versando sobre a velhice e o processo de envelhecimento das pessoas LGBT.

As a result of a recent law passed in Ohio, a program was designed to improve the oral intelligibility of International Teaching Assistants at Bowling Green State University. To evaluate the efficacy of the training, naive undergraduate students were asked to evaluate the pre- and postrecorded speech samples of the international students, both in terms of intelligibility of the sample and the identification of the topic of the monologue. Analysis showed a significant improvement in the intelligibility ratings between pre- and posttraining samples. Further, the average number of correct subject matter identifications was shown to increase, while the average number of incorrect judgments decreased significantly from pre- to posttraining evaluations.

This chapter outlines the implementation of electronic portfolio technology as part of a university initiative to improve learning. The implementation of electronic portfolios, via Epsilen Software, is discussed in terms of key features deemed necessary by Bowling Green State University’s assessment committee. One of the key features of the software is the matrix. This matrix is discussed in terms of its use for documenting student learning on the university’s learning outcomes. Reactions from current users are also provided. The chapter concludes by providing the current status of electronic portfolio usage at the university and a discussion of future plans for the software.
