How to Edit Artifacts in an Avenue ePortfolio

Instructors can update certain information in an artifact after it has been added to the ePortfolio. This pre-populated information includes the Artifact name, the language Skill and the About Me or Other options. Instructors can also change information such as the activity type (Skill-using, Assessment, Self-assessment, or Other), the CLB level, the Competency area / Can Do Statement and whether the student's attempt was successful. 

Note: If an activity's ePortfolio Artifact Settings section is completed in the learning management system (Classroom), each artifact created from that activity will be automatically added to the Learner Progress Summary report. However, instructors must still edit each individual artifact to indicate that it successfully meets the PBLA requirement.

The ePortfolio Artifact Settings settings feature applies only to activities that support artifact auto-collection, such as Quizzes, Assignments, Forums, H5Ps, SCORMs, Questionnaires and Feedback activities.

For more information, see Tagging Activities for ePortfolio Auto-Collection and Tagging for Auto-Collection After a Quiz or Assignment Is Complete and Graded.

Note: The selected Can Do Statement is used by the Learner Progress Summary to tabulate the number of artifacts for that competency area, e.g. Interacting with Others, Speaking, CLB 4.

Artifacts that have been edited and saved as Skill-Using, Assessment and Self-Assessment tasks are added to a learner's Learners Progress Summary.
