(Official course description can be found here.)

The capstone course entails a study of distance education and training designed to demonstrate cumulative knowledge and skills through two major projects: an electronic portfolio and a research project. The personal e-portfolio documents credentials and accomplishments to date and also serves as an ongoing resource and record of continuing professional development. The research project, which focuses on a distance education/training program, organization or important research topic, involves in-depth analysis of the setting and application of concepts and strategies to enhance practice and performance in distance education and training.
