Instructions
In this week’s discussion, you get to be the instructor! Your job is to teach your peers about a topic related to the endocrine system. As you are preparing your information, think about the most important aspect of your question and how you can be the expert for your peers. Be creative! Use visual aids, diagrams, etc. to help your peers learn.
- The deliverable for this discussion is a recorded PowerPoint presentation. You may access the following links for more information and tips about creating an effective PowerPoint presentation:
- Use Zoom to record a video of yourself giving your presentation. For instructions on how to use Zoom, refer to the Zoom Tutorial in the Student Orientation. Videos must be recorded in a quiet, private area with no distractions (this means no pets or other household members should be making noise or in the room while recording) and should be 10 to 12 minutes in length (be clear and concise).
- After your recording is complete, follow these instructions to create a private, unlisted YouTube video. You will need the YouTube video website/URL to submit your assignment.
- Submit your YouTube video website/URL and your PowerPoint file to this discussion.
- The best way to do this is to copy and paste the website/URL for the YouTube video into a Word document then upload the Word document (along with your PPT file).
- Your instructor will access your video via the link.
Initial Post
It is understood that thoughtful responses to your topic questions will take some time and thought. Please organize and refine your presentation before creating your initial post.
This week, you are responsible for answering ALL of the questions from your team’s question set, as assigned in the Announcements section of this course.
- Develop your PowerPoint presentation (with narration) by addressing ALL of the questions in the question set for your assigned team. You can address the questions in any order or fashion you like, but be sure you cover all of the questions.
- Keep your presentation to 10 to 12 minutes or less. As you are preparing your presentation, think about how you can “be the expert” for your peers. Be creative! Use visual aids, diagrams, etc. to help your peers learn. Your slides should contain highlights of the information, but avoid slides with lots of text. The goal is to highlight the key areas and discuss the rest.
- In addition to your textbook and course materials, use evidence-based, peer-reviewed journals that have been published within the past three to five years to support your presentation.
- Record your presentation by following the instructions provided.
- Please post your PowerPoint file and the link to your presentation as your initial post by Day 3.
