Welcome!
This portfolio represents a discussion of and reflections upon my experiences in the Master of Education in Distance Education program over the past 4 years. What started as a journey to complete a part time certificate, became a full fledge ambition to complete the Master of Education program. My journey of this experience required a lot of full time and part time studies while working full time over the past four years. During this journey, I studied 11 different courses, identified below.
MDDE601 – Introduction to Distance Education
MDDE602 – Research Methods in Distance Education
MDDE603 - Foundations of Instructional Design: Systems Analysis and Learning Theory
MDDE604 - Instructional Design in Distance Education
MDDE605 – Planning and Management in Distance Education and Training
MDDE610 – Introduction to Distance Education Technologies
MDDE617 - Program Evaluation in Distance Education
MDDE618 – Instructional Project Management
MDDE620 – Advanced Technologies for Distance Education
MDDE650 - Tutoring and Student Support in Distance Education and Training
MDDE660 – Pro-Seminar
Layout Structure
My thought process for developing this ePortfolio was to first identify all the courses that I had taken and then try to remember specific experiences that I could say were extraordinary. A lot of different courses that I took, individual assignments, and group assignments and activities came to mind. From this, I began to think of my work and how I have applied the knowledge and skills gained from the MDE program to something practical and realistic.
As a consequence, I selected five artefacts and began to document my memories related to each artefact. This in turn created a story of the artefact, how it came about, how it impacted myself, my coworkers, my fellow students, etc.
Who am I?
My name is Umair, I have been in the education field for the past 8 years. I am currently working at the CWB Group as an eLearning Developer. I have a passion for education, more specifically, eLearning and distance education. I believe distance education is the equalent to education as globalization to world economies that will continue to grow at a rapid pace. I am enrolled in the Master of Education (MEd) in Distance Education program. I've completed all the course requirements for the MEd program and am presently in the process of developing my ePortfolio.
