To obtain the M. Ed. (Distance Education) degree, students are required to complete 10 courses (6 Core courses and 4 elective courses) and an e-portfolio.

• Core Courses: MDDE601, MDDE602, MDDE603, MDDE604, MDDE605
• Electives: Courses selected by the student from the list of elective courses
• E-portfolio: An organized presentation of the student’s learning process and progress in the graduate program. When developing the e-portfolio, the student selects artefacts from materials created during the courses (e.g., papers, videos, excerpts from interactions with peers) and analyses them to reflect the abilities and skills acquired throughout the program. These skills include decision making and problem solving, course design and development, effective use of distance education technologies, team work and communication, research, and the management of distance learning organizations.
