The University of Ghana’s Master of Arts (M.A.) Programme in Distance Education and E-Learning (DEEL) offered its first e-Portfolio course in the Second Semester of the 2017-2018 Academic Year. This three-credit course was the final core requirement of the M.A. programme to enable students to use inquiry, reflection, and integration (I-R-I) principles in a structured way to demonstrate their growth and development as professionals. This paper focuses on the e-Portfolio experiences of one student (the lead author) and feedback from the instructor (the second author) about e-Portfolio pedagogy, the theoretical underpinning and the technology that underlie these all-digital platforms. The purpose of designing this e-Portfolio was to showcase the knowledge, skills, and core competencies acquired through the DEEL programme. The selection of artefacts for inclusion reflects constructivist learning theory while the collection of artefacts reflects positivist learning theory. In order to ensure that e-Portfolio leads to realisation of a targeted educational goal, Bloom's Digital Taxonomy was used to target specific taxonomy levels. Distance Education and eLearning (DEEL) programme is designed to develop qualified professionals in distance education and eLearning delivery and management. The rationale behind DEEL is to give prospective learners the theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills to lead the DEEL enterprise within organizations such as educational, business, government, non-profit organizations.
