Site Visitation: School Leaders\u27 Perceptions of a Diagnostic Tool for School Improvement
This case study explored the use of site-visitation as a diagnostic tool for school improvement. Nine charter schools in New Orleans were selected for the study. Based on qualitative research and systems theory, a within- and cross-case analysis of nine semi-structured interviews with school leaders were conducted. The school leaders’ experiences with the state-run site-visitation model and their use of the findings for school improvement was explored. The findings led to the development of a hybrid accountability model that encompasses the components school leaders believe will lead to school improvement. This study aims to assist educators, policy makers, and researchers to better understand site-visitation and its role in school improvement

"Sign in with ... Privacy'': Timely Disclosure of Privacy Differences among Web SSO Login Options
The number of login options on web sites has increased since the introduction
of web single sign-on (SSO) protocols. Web SSO services allow users to grant
web sites or relying parties (RPs) access to their personal profile information
from identity provider (IdP) accounts. Many RP sites do not provide sufficient
privacy information that could help users make informed login decisions.
Moreover, privacy differences in permission requests across login options are
largely hidden from users and are time-consuming to manually extract and
compare. In this paper, we present an empirical analysis of popular RP
implementations supporting three major IdP login options (Facebook, Google, and
Apple) and categorize RPs in the top 500 sites into four client-side code
patterns. Informed by these RP patterns, we design and implement SSOPrivateEye
(SPEye), a browser extension prototype that extracts and displays to users
permission request information from SSO login options in RPs covering the three
IdPs
Influences of Displaying Permission-related Information on Web Single Sign-On Login Decisions
Web users are increasingly presented with multiple login options, including
password-based login and common web single sign-on (SSO) login options such as
"Login with Google" and "Login with Facebook". There has been little focus in
previous studies on how users choose from a list of login options and how to
better inform users about privacy issues in web SSO systems. In this paper, we
conducted a 200-participant study to understand factors that influence
participants' login decisions, and how they are affected by displaying
permission differences across login options; permissions in SSO result in
release of user personal information to third-party web sites through SSO
identity providers. We compare and report on login decisions made by
participants before and after viewing permission-related information, examine
self-reported responses for reasons related to their login decisions, and
report on the factors that motivated their choices. We find that usability
preferences and inertia causes (habituation) were among the dominant factors
influencing login decisions. After participants viewed permission-related
information, many prioritised privacy over other factors, changing their login
decisions to more privacy-friendly alternatives. Displaying permission-related
information also influenced some participants to make tradeoffs between privacy
and usability preferences
Breaking : password entry is fine
In our digital world, we have become well acquainted with the login form – username shown as plaintext, password shown as asterisks or dots. This design dates back to the early days of terminal computing, and despite huge changes in nearly every other area, the humble login form remains largely untouched. When coupled with the ubiquity of smartphones, this means we often find ourselves entering complex passwords on a tiny touchscreen keyboard with little or no visual feedback on what has been typed. This paper explores how password masking on mobile devices affects the error rate for password entry. We created an app where users entered selected passwords into masked and unmasked password fields, measuring things like typing speed, error rate, and number of backspaces. We then did an exploratory data analysis for the data, and our findings show that, perhaps unexpectedly, there is no significant difference between masked and unmasked passwords for any of these metrics
