II. Engagement in Meaningful Dialogue: I. The student
responds to a student peer and course faculty to further
dialogue.
a. Peer Response: The student responds substantively to at
least one topic-related post by a student peer.
A substantive post adds
content or insights or asks a question that will add to
the learning experience and/or generate discussion.
· A post of “I agree” with a repeat of the other student’s post
does not count as a substantive post. A collection of shallow
posts does not equal a substantive post.
· The peer response must occur on a separate day from the
initial posting.
· The peer response must occur before Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT.
· The peer response does not require a scholarly citation and
reference unless the information is paraphrased and/or direct
quotes are used, in which APA style standards then apply.
Faculty Response: The student responds substantively to at least

3. one question by course faculty. The faculty question may be
directed to the student, to another student, or to the entire class.

count as a substantive post. A collection of shallow posts does
not equal a substantive post.
· The faculty response must occur on a separate day from the
initial posting.
· Responses to the faculty member must occur by Sunday, 11:59
p.m. MT.
· This response does not require a scholarly citation and
reference unless the information is paraphrased and/or direct
quotes are used, in which APA style standards then apply.
III. Integration of Evidence: The student post provides support
from a minimum of one scholarly in-text citation with a
matching reference AND assigned readings OR online lessons,
per discussion topic per week.

comes from a professional, peer-reviewed publication (e.g.,
journals and government reports such as those from the FDA or
CDC).
· Contains references for sources cited
· Written by a professional or scholar in the field and indicates
credentials of the author(s)
· Is no more than 5 years old for clinical or research article
b. What is not considered a scholarly resource?
· Newspaper articles and layperson literature (e.g., Readers
Digest, Healthy Life Magazine, Food, and Fitness)
· Information from Wikipedia or any wiki
· Textbooks
· Website homepages
· The weekly lesson
· Articles in healthcare and nursing-oriented trade magazines,
such as Nursing Made Incredibly

article.docx; Created 06/09 CK/CL Revised: 02/17/11, 09/02/11

4. nlh/clm)
c. Can the lesson for the week be used as a scholarly source?
· Information from the weekly lesson can be cited in a posting;
however, it is not to be the sole source used in the post.
d. Are resources provided from CU acceptable sources (e.g., the
readings for the week)?
· Not as a sole source within the post. The textbook and/or
assigned (required) articles for the week can be used, but
another outside source must be cited for full credit. Textbooks
are not considered scholarly sources for the purpose of
discussions.
e. Are websites acceptable as scholarly resources for
discussions?
· Yes, if they are documents or data cited from credible
websites. Credible websites usually end in .gov or .edu;
however, some .org sites that belong to professional
associations (e.g., American Heart Association, National League
for Nursing, American Diabetes Association) are also
considered credible websites. Websites ending with .com are not
to be used as scholarly resources

information in logical, meaningful, and understandable
sequence, and is clearly relevant to the discussion topic.
Grammar, spelling, and/or punctuation are accurate.
V. Wednesday Participation Requirement: The student provides
a substantive response to the graded discussion question(s) or
topic(s), posted by the course faculty (not a response to a peer),
by Wednesday, 11:59 p.m. MT of each week.

least three substantive posts (one to the initial question or topic,
one to a student peer, and one to a faculty question) on two
different days during the week.
