  • “Crafting Effective Subject Lines for Discussion Posts”

    You are required to create a Subject Line for your discussion posts that conveys the main point of your message.
    It is not enough to use just a “keyword” or “key phrase” as your subject – you must create a short sentence (a complete sentence with subject – verb – predicate, but no more than about 10 words) which summarizes the main question or response you are making in your message. This requirement is intended to accomplish 2 goals:
    It requires that you think about and clearly state the main point of your message. To do this, you must have a clear understanding of the material, and this aids in learning and memory.
    It provides the reader with advance information which is helpful in organizing and learning the content of the message. The reader should be able to determine the essence of your comment just by reading your Subject.

  • “Outbreak Alert: A CDC Epidemiologist’s Report on a Food-Borne Illness”

    Discussion:
    For the Discussion Board this week, you will pretend to be an epidemiologist working at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, GA. An outbreak of a food-borne illness has occurred, and it is your job to report this to the public. Have fun with this!
    Here are the specific directions for the Module this week:
    1). Research a specific pathogen that would be involved in an outbreak of a food-borne illness. For example: Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, Clostridium botulinum, Clostirdium perfringens, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, etc.
    The following references (and many others) may be helpful.
    www.cdc.govLinks to an external site.
    https://www.idsociety.org/Index.aspxLinks to an external site.
    https://www.niaid.nih.gov/Links to an external site.
    http://www.nfid.org/Links to an external site.
    2). Present your case study to the class. In your presentation, please include the following information:
    Where and when your ‘outbreak’ occurred and how many cases have been reported
    The specific food source that was linked to the outbreak
    The specific pathogen responsible for this outbreak
    How was this pathogen identified as the cause of this outbreak?
    5. The morphology of the organism: What is the Gram stain result?
    The signs and symptoms that would be seen in the patient as a result of this infection
    What the public needs to know about how this infectious disease can be treated and prevented
    Options for presentation: 1. Post a 3-5 minute video of your announcement. Make a 3-5 minute video informing the public about this
    outbreak and how to prevent it. For this video, you can use your own technology and upload the file to your
    discussion board site or you can create this right in your discussion board response. To do this, click on the
    ‘Reply’ tab in your discussion board. Click on the ‘film’ icon on the tool bar. Create and save your video.
    2. Create Prezi presentation or a Powerpoint presentation including all of the required information.
    3. Remember that you must include at least 2 scientific references in correct APA format.
    3). Review your peers’ presentations and have fun responding to at least 2 of these. Please add some information
    about the specific pathogens discussed in order to have a more meaningful discussion.
    note I rally would like you to Create Prezi presentation or a Powerpoint presentation. let me know if you need anything else
