I would like to start my e-portfolio by breaking a convention in writing. I shall therefore start with the conclusion: The MDE program has been an awarding journey for me and I recommend it to anyone who has an interest in teaching and learning through distance education.

MDE being a significant phase in my educational evolution, I do not see it as a means for moving into a higher paying job but into the realm of great ideas, ideas of substantial value that I have discovered, explored and attempted to apply in my coursework albeit in small scales.

This e-portfolio is primarily a reflection and presentation tool that maps my progress and professional development against the MDE program competencies and was developed to partially fulfill the graduation requirements of the Program.
