Community Indicators: Artifacts

In the Communities of Practice domain, there are some great insider terms (jargon). One of them is artifacts.

“Artifacts are the tangible things people create or use to help them get their work done. When people use artifacts, they build their way of working right into them.” --- Hugh Beyer and Karen Holtzblatt: Contextual Design: Defining Customer-Centered Systems (via here)

A beautiful example of an artifact is this video from Bar Camp (let it load first to really enjoy.) barcamp_video.mov (video/quicktime Object)
