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 Course it is associated with, the language Skill and the About Me or Other options. Instructors can also add 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. This information populates the course Generated Artifact counter in the Class Register and the Learner Progress Summary report. 

Note: If an activity is tagged using the Edit Settings menu, you do not need to edit the artifact in the Binder to have it counted in the Generated Artifacts counter on the Class Register. However, for the artifact to appear in the Learner Progress Summary report, you still need to edit the artifact to specify the skill, CLB level, competency area, activity type, and whether it meets PBLA requirements.

See Tagging Activities for ePortfolio Auto-Collection and Tagging for Auto-Collection After a Quiz or Assignment Is Complete and Graded to learn more about tagging an artifact.

Coming soon to Avenue: If an activity's ePortfolio Additional info. settings are completed in the learning management system (Classroom), it will not be necessary to edit each artifact for it to be added to the Learner Progress Summary report. It will still be necessary to edit individual artifacts to indicate that they successfully meet the PBLA requirement. The ePortfolio Additional info. settings feature will only apply to activities that support artifact auto collection, e.g. Quiz, Assignment, Forum, H5P, SCORM, Questionnaire and Feedback.

1. Go to the Avenue portal and click on Binder.

The My Portfolio page appears.

2. Select the course, student and skill(s) to view the available artifacts.

3. Click on the View icon to preview the artifact and its details. 

The Artifact Preview panel appears. The artifact is displayed on the right side of the panel. Information about the artifact appears on the left side. Instructors can edit the information here. 

a. Instructors can modify the artifact name by typing directly in the Artifact name text box.

b. The Activity Type setting uses radio buttons to select the activity type. Other is selected by default. 

c. Under Target Competency, use the Skill drop-down to select the relevant skill.

Note: If Other is selected from Activity Type, the options will include the four language skills, Other, and About Me.

After selecting Assessment or Skill-using task, additional editing options appear for Skill, CLB Level, and Outcome.

4. Select the Skill. 

5. Select a level in the CLB Level drop-down menu (for example: CLB 4).

After choosing a CLB level, the Can Do Statements for the selected Skill and CLB Level appear.

Note: Changing the Skill or CLB Level will automatically re-populate the Can Do Statements.

6. Select a Can Do Statement associated with the competency area of the Assessment/Self-assessment or Skill-using task. 

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.

7. The Outcome section indicates whether the artifact meets the CLB competency requirement. Instructors can click on the Successful button if the artifact meets the requirement. The default setting is Not Yet Successful.

8. Click the Save button to apply your updates to the artifact.

Artifacts that have been edited and saved as Skill-Using, Assessment and Self-Assessment tasks are added to a learner's Learners Progress Summary. This report tracks artifacts by CLB level, skill, competency area and whether or not they were successful. See Learner Progress Summary for more information.
