Guidelines for Artifacts

The homepage will be linked to the Projects Page. The Projects page contains  links to all artifacts and reflective writings. Follow the list of designated artifacts and align these with reflective writings.

Guidelines for Reflective Writing

Your reflection statements should include the following:

1. State the competency, or standard that is appropriate for your degree and licensure area. This could be standards for 077 licensure or ISTE Advanced Standards for Technology Facilitators. When appropriate you may use standards from the Association for Educational Communication and Technology (AECT). Choose one or two standards that most representative of your artifact. The reflection should include discussion for each of the standards you've identified for the artifact.
2. Describe requirements for your artifact. What was assigned and how did you complete the project. Only 100 to 150 words are needed for this section.  Include theoretical base for what you did in the project. Include references to textbook authors, readings, and online resources discussed in your course.
3. Explain how your artifact is a good example of the objective, competency, or standard. Defend your evidence as if you were a lawyer defending the validity of evidence submitted for the trial. Include references to theory in Instructional Design and Technology.
4. Discuss how you might change the content, strategy, or design of the artifact. If you see no need for change, elaborate on the artifact is a good exemplar for the competency or standard.
5. Discuss how the artifact is representative of future career goals and plans.
