INTRODUCTION

This e-portfolio is developed by me Nkabala Helen Nambalirwa an Assistant lecturer of biblical studies in the Department of Religion and Peace, School of Liberal and performing Arts, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Makerere University, Uganda. I am also a student at the center for Educational Technologies, University of Cape Town, South Africa. This portfolio ‍‍‍is ‍‍developed in partial fulfillment for the requirements of the online Learning Design, course module for the award of a PGDE/Med at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. My learning design is for a 2nd Year Old Testament class on the topic of creation. Using blogs and wikis, I have engaged with the students to help them build their cognitive capacities in as far as the topic of creation in the Old Testament vis a vis science and African indigenous knowledge systems is concerned. Other than the introduction and the conclusion, the rest of the structure of this portfolio is arranged according to Dabbagh and Bannan-Ritland (2005:114-115).‍‍‍‍ Dabbagh & Bannan-Ritland present three major stages in the ILDF framework. These include: Dabbagh, N., & Bannan-Ritland, B. 2005: //Online learning: Concepts, strategies, and application//. Upper Saddle River, New Jersey : Pearson Merrill Prentice Hall.
 * ‍‍‍ **** INTRODUCTION **
 * Exploration: - ** This is the stage were investigations about the context and the different actors in that context are presented. It is in this section that information about individuals, training setting, trainers and collective beliefs of both educators and learners is collected and presented. Based on this information, suiting learning theories are identified. This section provides the background information which is aimed at informing the design Dabbagh & Bannan-Ritland 2005:115.
 * Enactment: - **In this phase, I map the information gathered in the exploratory stage with existing pedagogical strategies. Then the tools to be used are identified based on the affordances they avail us as users after which I move to the development stage Dabbagh & Bannan-Ritland 2005:115.
 * Evaluation: - **The evaluation is formative in nature. This is by determining the purpose of the OLA, desired results. The revision cycles are intended to result in effective implementation and informative results (Dabbagh & Bannan-Ritland 2005:115). A reflection based on learner and educator responses concerning possible application of the online learning activity congruence of the design and lessons learned. Important to note at this stage is that at the end of each section, a list of references will be availed.
