Choose one or more examples of the work you have produced in this course that show you mastered/achieved the LOs. You can choose a discussion post, reflection, project, or paper to demonstrate mastery. These examples are considered ‘artifacts’ of your achievement. You may choose one artifact for all of the LOs, one that shows mastery of two or more, or one for each of the LOs. This is up to you. Be clear about which artifact shows achievement of which LO.
APPLICATION: You will need to provide a rationale detailing how the artifact shows the learning objective was achieved. This does not need to be more than a reflection, but the connection to the LO needs to be clearly explained.
Make sure you attach your artifact to the rationale. You do not need to cut and paste it into the document, but clearly, indicate which artifact is associated with which LO.
CHANGE: After providing the rationale for each LO, please provide a reflection on the course as a whole and how the learning has affected a change in your behavior, future plans, or perspective. This change could be in your personal, professional life or societally.
FORMAT: Label the sections of your rationale with the headings: Artifact, Application, and Change. If you find it helpful to use charts and/or tables please do so.
By the end of the course, you may have work that has come close to showing mastery of the LO, but you now have a deeper understanding of the subject and are able to analyze your previous work and apply that knowledge. You may provide a rationale that explains how the artifact provided can be improved to show mastery.
In summary:
• List each Learning Objective for the course
• Post an artifact(s) for each LO
• Provide a rationale delineating which outcome it addresses
• Provide a rationale for how the artifact addresses the learning outcome OR provide an analysis of how you could improve the artifact to show mastery of the learning outcome
• Detail an example of how you applied the learning in your personal or professional life – this may be a change in attitude or your thought process
