Evidence and Artifacts

Explanation from rubric of evidence and artifacts portion of e-portfolio

Evidence or artifacts that demonstrate your competencies in relation to the five learning goals. For all five of the learning goals, you need to document your competency in all three of the outcomes associated with each learning goal. A list of potential artifacts for your e-Portfolio is provided below. You may use the same artifact for more than one outcome, but your e-Portfolio should include at least 12 different artifacts. Your final e-Portfolio may include up to three items created outside of SOIS, as long as the item demonstrates competency of one of the MLIS learning outcomes. For each artifact in your e-Portfolio, include a brief explanation (one or two paragraphs) that connects the work you did to your understanding of the outcome in relation to the program learning goal. If using an artifact for more than one outcome, include additional information for each, connecting specifically to each learning goal.
