- Job Postings – we sometimes receive job openings from industry and educational institutions which we post for our students and graduates.
- MET Graduate Survey – to assist with our ongoing evaluation, development and international recognition of the program.
- MET Graduate Support – connecting interested applicants with current or graduated MET students to answer questions about the program from the student perspective.
- Graduate Profiles – we encourage our graduates to keep in touch and provide a webpage to post their profiles.
- MET Blog - posting news and items of interest related to the program.
ePortfolio & MET
An elective course, ETEC 590 is an optional graduating project for students in
the Master of Educational Technology (MET) program. Within this course,
students will create an
ePortfolio - a tool that will allow students to gather, analyze, and demonstrate their
competencies, values and beliefs regarding technology integration.
During the construction of the
ePortfolio,
students draw on a collection of artifacts, many produced during earlier
courses within the MET program.
As students progress through the MET program, it will be important to keep
copies of the tasks, products and discussions that you have worked on in other
courses. You will draw on that repertoire as you select the artifacts for the
ePortfolio.
