=Session 5: Selection of artifacts for different purposes=

Depending on the technical affordances of e-portfolio software being used several actions can be taken to help better classify artefacts. You can:
 * assign them to categories
 * tag them (assign keywords)
 * describe them
 * organize them in folders
 * create a table of contents

Creating a hierarchy of artifacts
The next important stage of e-portfolio process is creating a hierarchy od artefacts. You should do it too. Try using different criteria for creating hierarchies. Below you will find three exemplary sets of these:

1. Contents: 2. Privacy 3. Technology and technical skills:
 * Necessary artefacts: to be obligatorily shown within a specific context (both those you already have and ones you must create);
 * Useful artefacts: not obligatory but helpful within a given context;
 * Possibly useful artefacts: could prove useful or even obligatory if the context was about to change (e.g. applying for a different job).
 * suitable for open publishing (accessible to anyone);
 * suitable for restricted publishing (accessible to specific people, e.g. friends or e-portfolio evaluators);
 * personal (inaccessible - for any reason - to anyone except for the e-portfolio author).
 * Tool being used has the necessary functionalities and full advantage taken of it due to sufficient IT competencies;
 * Artefact not "perfect" due to missing tool functionalities;
 * Artefact not "perfect" due to insufficient IT competencies;
 * Lack of both tool functionalities and IT competencies.
