Workflow Begins

Teacher Rejects Artifact: Workflow

ends

Student creates an artifact in their classroom

They submit the artifact to their teacher’s SharePoint site with a short reflection

Once the artifact is submitted it initiates a workflow on the SharePoint Site

The teacher can elect to have an email notification of the artifact submission, or they can check the document library

The teacher approves or rejects the artifact with a short teacher reflection

If the artifact is rejected, the student can make changes and then resubmit

Once approved, the student will send the artifact to the Documents Records Center

The student must complete the

required fields for it to be sent successfully

The document records center will store all of the student artifacts while they are in school.

Artifacts are read only once they are

in the Records Center
