Overview
Adding an 'Artifact' refers to uploading files from your computer to your Chalk & Wire account. Artifacts can be documents, images, videos, multimedia files, and more. Uploading an artifact to your portfolio, allows you to complete your work on your computer, then upload the completed version to your portfolio for submission.
Whenever an artifact is uploaded directly to a portfolio or assignment, it is automatically saved in your Artifact Library as well (accessible by using the Work menu, and selecting Artifacts) for future use.
There are two ways to add artifacts to portfolio and/or assignment page (click on the option you wish to use):
1. Upload a New Artifact
2. Add a Previously Uploaded Artifact
How to Upload a New Artifact
To upload a new artifact, click on the Upload New Artifact button.
On the Add Artifact pop-up window:
1. Enter a descriptive name for the new Artifact. Your instructor may suggest naming conventions.
2. (Optional) Enter keywords for your new Artifact. Keywords can be used to help you search for the artifact in the Artifact Library.
3. Click 'Upload File'.
NOTE: (Optional) Upload Options. These options are specific to video uploads and can affect the upload times. It is not recommended that you change the default options, unless it is required for your assignment.
4. Locate the file on your computer and select to open it. The upload will begin immediately. Do not leave the page until the upload has finished.
5. Once the upload is complete, you will receive a confirmation message in the green bar at the top of the screen. Click 'Close' to finish and return to your portfolio page.
NOTE: You can use the 'Add Another Artifact' button if you wish to continue adding artifacts to this portfolio page.
Your new artifact will appear on the portfolio page as a linked file. Click on the artifact link to open and view it.
How to Add a Previously Uploaded Artifact
To upload a previously uploaded artifact, click the Add Artifact button.
1. In the Sources column, select the Artifact Library folder (or a specific folder if you have organized your artifacts).
2. Artifacts will appear in alphabetical order. Search for the artifact or scroll down to locate it. Select the artifact from the Sources column, by clicking on it. It will turn blue when selected.
3. Use the 'Add Selected' button or drag-and-drop the artifact to add it to the 'Paragraph Artifacts' column.
