You may create a  simple webpage, a blog or other tool.  The artifacts are the deliverables related to your learning objectives described in your learning objective agreement.  For this assignment, placeholder links for your learning objectives and artifacts should be visible even if the final artifacts are not uploaded.  You may choose to keep a blog as an ongoing journal.   Think of how you would utilize this delivery mechanism as a showcase for potential employers and/or as support for your portfolio experience.
