Online Module 2

This week you will create Module 2 of your online course. Remember to use the design work you did in Week One as a guide.

Your Module must include the following:
A brief module overview: What will the students learn ?

 Two to three learning objectives.

 A 7-10 slide content PowerPoint presentation that teaches the Module 2 objectives.

 Two to three additional learning resources (i.e. videos, websites, articles) that relate to the Module 2 objectives/content and can be used to support learning.

 A discussion prompt that you would have students answer. Remember, you want discussion prompts to simulate critical thinking. Note: Set up the discussion in a way that is different from that of the previous week’s discussion. For example, create a scenario that sets up the discussion, or find an engaging, accessible video to base the discussion question around. 

 An assignment based on the content within the content presentation: With this, you need to create directions for an assignment you would have students complete in Module 2, as well as a rubric for grading the assignment. Note: This assignment should have a collaborative component to it (i.e. group work). .

 A five-item quiz that assesses student’s knowledge of the Module 2. 

Rources of Data, and Limitations, Challenges, and Barriers Sections of the Prospectus

This week, you will continue to write sections of the prospectus. They should be written directly into the Prospectus Template.

Additionally, you will be expected to revise previous work each week. The track-changes tool in MS Word can be a convenient way to indicate changes. Please confer with your chair about using this, or if he/she would prefer that a clean copy is submitted each week.

The Assignment

• Following the format in the Dissertation Prospectus Guide, complete the first draft of the Significance directly in the Prospectus Template. Also, complete the associated section of the checklist.
• Incorporating feedback from your chair, additional reading, and further thinking about your topic, revise all parts of your Prospectus as needed to assure alignment.

Assignment 1 – Part 1

• Complete the first draft of the Nature of the Study, Possible Types and Sources of Data, and Limitations, Challenges, and Barriers sections directly in the Prospectus Template.
• Incorporating feedback from your chair, additional reading, and further thinking about your topic, revise all parts of your Prospectus as needed to assure alignment.
• Optional: See the Student Guide to Alignment and complete this optional section of your Prospectus with some possible ways to organize and analyze the results obtained by the research strategies detailed previously. A few examples of possible analytical strategies include multiple regression, content analysis, and meta-analysis.
