Learning Outcomes Portfolio

You will find and/or create artifacts that demonstrate your mastery of the outcomes. Each artifact will be accompanied by a rationale that explains how the artifact demonstrates your mastery, and provides context for the artifact. Each rationale should be approximately 1/2 page in length.

You are encouraged to use examples of your work from the course as artifacts. This could include your discussions, article reviews, or any other work for the course. When you use an example of your work from the course, you must include information regarding where the artifact came from (Activity number, discussion post title, etc.).

You may also find or create new artifacts to demonstrate your mastery; these could include relevant images, YouTube videos, news articles, or other types of artifacts. However, it is imperative that you cite where the artifact came from as well as fully explain how this artifact relates to and demonstrates your mastery of the Learning Outcome.

There are a variety of formats you can select from to present your Learning Outcomes Portfolio. You are encouraged to review the list of suggested tools and experiment with several before making a final decision. Keep in mind that your instructor will not provide technical support for any of the tools, but links to tutorials have been provided in the above link as well.
