Week 8: Peer Review Discussion

Purpose 

In Week 8, you will record a Kaltura presentation based on the PowerPoint slide show created in week 7. You will interact with peers related to their presentations.
The purpose of the graded collaborative peer review is to engage students in an interactive dialogue to assist the student in organizing, integrating, applying, and critically appraising knowledge regarding advanced nursing practice. Application of information to professional experiences promotes the analysis and use of principles, knowledge, and information learned and related to real-life professional situations. Meaningful dialogue among students fosters the development of a learning community as ideas, perspectives, and knowledge are shared.

1. Demonstrate logical and creative thinking in the analysis and application of theory to nursing practice. (CO1)

Discussion Criteria  

Initial post: Create a Kaltura video presentation based on the PowerPoint slideshow you submitted in week 7. The slides you created should be displayed in the recorded presentation; you may choose to include webcam video of your presentation as well, but it is not required. A clear audio presentation of the content should be included. The Kaltura Presentation should be between 5-10 minutes in length. While the presentation is due  Wednesday, please consider posting the presentation to the discussion area early in the week to facilitate a robust discussion.

Kaltura Resources: Use the Kaltura resources found under the Resources tab in the course. If you have difficulty using Kaltura Capture Space, reach out to IT first (please obtain a ticket number). If you are still unable to record using Kaltura, reach out to your instructor for alternate recording options.

Participating in the Discussion: You will be required to respond to at least two other students, who have no responses to their posting.** Your peer posts should add to the dialogue or ask questions about the presentation. Each post should be substantive and professional, and answer the following questions:

1. Does the chosen theory apply to the stated issue or concern presented?
2. Is the presentation clear and easy to follow?
3. Did the presentation provide sufficient evidence to support the presenter’s recommendations?
4. Is there an alternate theory that you would suggest for the issue or concern?
5. Does the presentation add to nursing knowledge?
6. What applications do you see for the content of this presentation to your practice as an NP?

Responses to two different peer presentations are due by Saturday 11:59 p.m. MT of Week 8    

**If all students have a response, then choose the student with the least responses to their posting.
