Discusses implications for advanced nursing practice

MSN-ST Collaboration Café
Guidelines and Grading Rubric

Purpose
Within the MSN Specialties Track, you will engage and dialog with classmates in a Collaboration Café discussion assignment. The Collaboration Café is an interactive assignment that encourages meaningful application of course concepts, discussion of nurse-practice issues, and student leadership to prompt continued conversations in order to facilitate achievement of course learning outcomes. In order for students to lead and facilitate discussion within the collaboration café, course instructors will take a less active role in daily posting, but will remain present to monitor the discussion for compliance and to offer clarification.

Due Date:
For Collaboration Café Assignments that take place during weeks 1 – 7, the due date for the initial posting is Wednesday 11:59 pm MT; the due date for responsive postings is Sunday 11:59 pm MT of the week that corresponds with the assigned collaboration café.

For Collaboration Café Assignments that take place during week 8, the due date for the initial posting is Wednesday 11:59 pm MT; the due date for responsive postings is Saturday 11:59 pm MT, at the end of week 8.

Due to the interactive nature of this assignment, all Collaboration Café postings must occur within the week that they are assigned. Late submissions are not permitted for grading.

Total Points Possible: 50 points
Assignment Overview

Like the weekly Threaded Discussion, the Collaboration Café opens on the Sunday preceding the start of a designated week, and ends on Sunday at 11:59 pm MT at the end of the designated week (weeks 1-7), and by Saturday at 11:59 pm MT at the end of week 8.

In each Collaboration Café, students are expected to post a minimum of 3 postings, to include the following:
Initial response
Response to at least two separate peers on separate days from the initial response

Dialogue must be substantive and collaborative in nature, addressing specific concepts and topics noted in the Collaboration Café question and prompting further discussion among peers.

Scholarly references are not required in the Collaboration Café discussions; however, if the student chooses to submit a reference, APA format must be followed. There may also be times when faculty will have you review a website or article. In cases like these, you must properly cite and reference according to APA to avoid plagiarism.

Faculty may submit any student’s post to Turnitin in order to verify originality of work. Plagiarism will result in a zero for the week. Uncivil comments toward peers or faculty, in any of the posts, will not be tolerated and will result in a zero for the week.
