Discussion Boards (DB) are a key component of online learning. They foster active participation of learners and dialog with fellow learners and instructors. Graduate-level courses require learners to create original posts to course DBs and to engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the course. Original posts and responses should be substantive, and if references are made to the works of others, APA guidelines for in-text citations and references apply. Minimum Weekly DB Expectations ? Post an original and thoughtful Main Post to the DB prompt. ? Respond to at least 2 other posts from learners and/or the instructor (Response Posts). ? The first contribution (Main Post or Response Post) must be posted before midnight (Central time) on Friday of each week. ? Two additional responses are required after Friday of each week. ? For DB assignment prompts with a Part One and Part Two, Part One should be addressed in the first week of the unit with a Main Post and minimum of 2 Response Posts, and Part Two should be addressed in the second week of the unit with a Main Post and a minimum of 2 Response Posts. More on DBs At the end of each unit, DB participation is assessed based on level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion. DBs allow learners to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB are accepted after the end of the unit. Learners must demonstrate an appropriate depth of understanding of course content to receive credit for having submitted substantive posts. Typically, this is achieved with 3–4 strong paragraphs for Main Posts and 2–3 strong paragraphs for Response Posts. Deliverable Specifics Part 1 Research methods vary and different approaches are needed. A magazine editor in a small town would like to include articles on several topics in the next issue. Decide which of the following proposed article topics are suitable for a quantitative or qualitative research, and explain why. ? Coin collections ? Favorite recipes ? Rising home costs ? Best high schools ? Carpools ? Political polls ? Parent teacher participation ? Book fairs
