Artifacts are products representing your best work that are collected in your Portfolio, demonstrating your growth and reflective preparation for the Review.
the Artifact
What is an artifact? An artifact is a product that demonstrates proficiency in a learning outcome. These products of your work as a student minister are placed in their portfolio. There are prescribed artifacts to include in the portfolio for the review. Students may also post other artifacts—papers, audio/videos, lesson plans taught, sermons preached, reports on volunteer or ministry work done, photos illustrating cross-cultural experiences, and so forth.
Make connections between your work and your formation for ministry. The Student Learning Outcomes provide clear targets to demonstrate ministry formation.
