In weeks 5-7, you prepare for your course Signature Assignment (due in week 8) by composing annotations from research articles and sharing your research with the class. Review the Signature Assignment directions in week 8 to make sure your research this week meets the requirements.
This assignment has three steps, the second of which MUST be completed
Research a condition caused by pulmonary disease or injury and find two peer-reviewed sources.
Record a brief summary of your annotations in VoiceThread
Step 1: Research a condition caused by pulmonary disease or injury
Select a condition caused by pulmonary disease or injury (such as hypercapnia, hypoxemia, or acute respiratory failure) from this week’s content. Using the Gangwish Library or another peer-reviewed scholarly source, locate two scholarly peer-reviewed articles relating to the chosen disorder.
In a Word document or a PowerPoint slide, write an annotation for both articles. Format your document with your name and your selected disease at the top. In the body of your document, type the APA-style reference. Refer to the Writing the Annotated Bibliography OU LibGuide for examples of annotations.
You do not need a title page or a reference page. Use 12-point font, single-spacing and try to fit both annotations on one page/slide.
Step 2: Present your research to our community of learners
Use a video discussion tool called VoiceThread (VT) to present your reasoning (i.e., argument related to your chosen disease for this week) to your peers in a video recording. Your presentation should provide a brief summary of the articles and explain how the research you have gathered informs:
the care management of the patient,
the promotion of the patient’s health, and
the prevention of further disease.
Your recording should be no more than 8 minutes in length. Include the following:
Add your annotations document to the Pulmonary Disorders Research Annotations VT.
A video or audio recording sharing a brief summary of each article and your reasoning for selecting the articles.
Posting in VoiceThread:
Post your annotations and video or audio presentation in VoiceThread
Click the “Week 5 Pulmonary Disorders Research Annotations” link to launch VT.
Click “Launch” to open VoiceThread in a new browser tab.
Click the “Start Assignment” button to begin.
Add your annotation document by uploading the file from your computer (or use one of the other supported options).
Edit the Presentation name to be descriiptive of your topic.
Add a video or audio comment to record your rationale.
Click the “Submit” button to submit your VT to the “Student Gallery.” This will close VoiceThread.
Step 3: Respond to your peers
Collaborate and have a conversation with your peers about how the research they shared relates to your own clinical reasoning and knowledge. Reviewing the annotations of your peers can also help you find research for your Signature Assignment.
Go back into the VoiceThread assignment to click on the “Student Gallery” link to view the presentations of your peers.
Reply to at least two peers’ presentations to further the discussion (and findings) as it relates to your own clinical reasoning and knowledge.
Submit your annotations and video or audio presentation in VoiceThread
