9:48 AM (CST)Assignment DetailsAssignment DescriptionGraduate Programs Discussion BoardsDiscussion Boards (DB) are a key component of online learning. They foster active participation of learners and dialog with fellow learners and instructors. Graduate­level coursesrequire 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 responsesshould be substantive, and if references are made to the works of others, APA guidelines for in­text citations and references apply.Minimum Weekly DB ExpectationsPost 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 ResponsePosts, 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 DBsAt 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 throughsharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content. Because it is not possible to engage in two­way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB areaccepted 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.Assignment DetailsBased on your past experiences and the knowledge gained during your course work, consider the following question, and post a substantive initial post:In health care, what are the pros and cons of collaborating with other health care departments both internal and external when separated by physical barriers (e.g., floors,buildings, geography, and training professional differences)?In your own words, please post a response to the Discussion Board, and comment on other postings. You will be graded on the quality of your postings.For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.
