What is an artefact?

An artefact is something (written, audio, visual) that represents some part of your learning. It should have personal meaning and significance to you. It might be something that you are proud to have achieved, something that challenged your thinking or something that changed your behaviour - for the better.

Why do I need to include artefacts?

Artefacts are evidence that you have a range of experiences that are relevant to the job market, or that you have a range of skills necessary for understanding how you manage and get things done!.

Artefacts might include (but are not limited to):

Your first reflection

Peer feedback (given as part of your class, or informally by a friend)

Feedback from your teachers

Course resources, readings and activities

RMIT Creds  (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.(credentials or learning aligned with your studies)

Images / Audio

Research papers that you have read

Online videos (e.g. TEDtalks)

Photographs of environments related to your learning

Selected case studies from your studies

A good artefact is:

carefully selected

a representative of the standard of your learning at university

presented professionally

personally meaningful

and is paired with a relevant and insightful reflection.

Think about why this artefact matters to you, how it connects to your study at this moment and how might it change your future actions in your study, your personal life or your career.

All of your artefacts should be accompanied by a reflective statement which explains why it is important to you and how it contributes to your future.

Useful questions

Sometimes it can be difficult to decide what would be an appropriate artefact; be guided by your responses. When our emotions are engaged, it is easier to make sense of an experience.

What surprised/ excited/angered/frustrated you?

Why did you feel strongly about it?

What did you learn from this experience that you did not know already?

Is there a strategy or approach to this learning that you could use in your future study, future career or grow as a person?

What future questions or projects would you like to explore because of what you learned?

You must create an e-portfolio which includes a minimum of 3 artefacts supporting your learning.

See guidelines on how to create an e-portfolio

Once the e-portfolio has been created, you must write a report reflecting on how the artefacts were chosento illustrateyour key strengths and potential to manage in the future. The written reportmust include a clear understanding of how you function as a manager, but more importantly how you like to be managed by others.

You are reflecting on your learning on this subject so yourwriting will include some personal ‘I’ statements. However, you will also include research in your report. This means you will refer to evidence to support any statements you make and you will also write more formally. For example:

Brown’s study (2016) reported that managers must be aware of their personal bias when hiring new employees. From this study, I learnt that, as a manager, I need to question my hiring decisions to make sure I employ a diverse range of people.

Marking rubric

Note: the e-portfolio created on Canvas will not be graded. You can continue to update this e-portfolio as you progress through university.

You will receive 10% of the grade for this assignment by completing two artefacts:

Emotional Intelligence micro-credential

Creating/updatingyourLinkedIn profile to include in your report.

The written reflection will be graded on Canvas.

Refer to the marking rubric for the written reflection under the Assignment Task 3 tab on Canvas.

Steps in writing the written reflection

Step 1: Provide a short personal statement of yourself

Start the reflection by providing a short bio of yourself. Highlight what you are currently doing, anywork or other professional experiences, your values, and what you hope to do in the future.

While this bio is important for the reflection, it will also give you the skills to write about yourself in a professional manner. You willbe able to write a cover letter for a prospective job, start a LinkedIn profile or use this information in an interview.Include your LinkedIn profile link at the end of the bio section.

Include your statement of purpose in your introduction. This should align with your bio and the artefacts you have included. The artefacts are evidence that supports your statement of purpose.

Example 1:

A life-long data enthusiast: from analysing cricket statistics as a child, to ‘living the dream’, getting paid to maintain data in my part-time work along with demonstrating my knowledge of this at the university. I have the somewhat rare ability to understand both the technical and business side of company requirements, and therefore am more than capable of tying the two together to achieve optimal outcomes. A key aspiration is to further strengthen…..

Statement of Purpose:

I believe in making the complex simple… giving business users an experience whereby they need never know the work that has gone into producing their requirements. I will always ask ‘why’ a customer wants a piece produced, rather than just ‘what’, as this gives me the information I need to produce the best possible result, leveraging my knowledge of both business and technology.

Example 2:

I am a dedicated professional with a commitment to championing Diversity and Inclusion within the corporate environment. I am majoring in Human Resource Studies and have successfully gained HR experience in a variety of sectors including, professional services and hospitality. In these roles, I have effectively championed best practice people management and driven performance improvement. I have also taken the lead in developing diversity and inclusion programs and initiatives through projects within my university studies.

Statement of Purpose:

Passion for people is the reason why I do what I do.

Step 2: For each of the three artefacts you have included in your e-portfolio, reflect on it based on a module in ITM.

Each of the artefacts in the e-portfolio draws on theory and knowledge covered across three modules of ITM.

1.   What is Management?

Briefly describe the artefact you chose for this module. Reflect on how the artefact relates to managers’ work and how it will help/assist you as a future manager.

If you chose the results of the values test as an artefact, you can reflect on how this test will help you as a future manager and also develop a statement of purpose based on your core values,

For example,The author aspires to be an effective communicator that considers cultural identities when working with others.

2. What is involved in management in organisations?

Briefly describe the artefact you chose for this module. Reflect on how this artefact shows how the context of managers’ work has changed and how this artefact can help/assist you as a future manager. Consider how you can answer the question: what is involved in management in organisations?

For example, you may discuss your Myer Brigg’s style and how this preference may influence your understanding of what is involved in management but also what you perceive as important in managers’ work.

3. What are the key functions a manager needs to address in order to be effective?

Briefly describe the artefact you chose for this module. One of the artefacts must be the Emotional Intelligence micro-credential. Reflect on how this artefact relates to the main functions that managers need to engage in to be effective. Also, reflect on how this artefact will help/assist you in engaging in work and provide knowledge about your capacity to be managed effectively.

For example, when you choose to include the badge of the Emotional Intelligence test done in Week 9 or 10 as your artefact, you can reflect on how managers use emotions to motivate employees. You must also reflect on your potential to use emotions to motivate employees and yourself.

For each reflection,include findings from relevant and current (i.e., within the past 10 years) credible and scholarly work. This could include material you covered in class, from course readings, research from your assignments, or additional research based on the three modules.

These works need tobe referenced within the body of the reflection as in-text references as well as at the end,inyour reference list. You must use the RMIT Harvard referencing style for formatting all references used in the reflection. See RMIT Easycite.

Step 3: Write a Conclusion

Write a Conclusion to your report by briefly summarising the artefacts chosen and how each relates to the three modules in ITM and what you have learnt from the course that helps you achieve your statement of purpose.

Step 4: Include the reference list

All references cited within the body of the reflection need to be referenced according to the Harvard style in the reference list. Ensure that you include relevant references in this reflection. A minimum of 3 should be included.

Formatting requirements for the reflection

The word count for the refection is 1500 words (+/- 10%) typed in Times New Roman font size 12 with 1.5 spacing.
