Capstone Course

The capstone course is the culminating course for all MDE Specializations. Students are expected to draw on all they have learned and produce a research project that illustrates the width and depth of their understanding of the issues currently facing the DE environment. All students are encouraged to participate in the MDE Orientation (MDE 101) offered in during week 2 of each semester. Find further information on the capstone here. The capstone information page and capstone wiki has everything you want to know about the two expected deliverables.

Need Academic Advising ?

You can use a few Advising Tips, and get more information in MDE Curriculum information or Other resources page under 'Support'. If none of these answer your questions, please contact us.

How Long Can Students Access Classes?

MDE students will have access to their classes via WebTycho for 4 months after the course ends. Therefore, download any materials you would like to save from classes as soon as possible. This is very important to consider when insuring you have access to material for your e-portfolio.

TK20?

TK20 is a program required by the M. Ed. program. It is not a requirement for MDE students. When MDE students take EDTC 650 they often receive notifications about TK20 but may disregard those notifications.
