2.35 Discussion Board Activity

Surf the Internet and find a sport psychology website to add to our list on the TeleCampus course website - Module 2, Lesson 3, Section 3 - Sport Psychology Websites. Don't duplicate a site that's already there. Try to find a non-commercial site. If it is a commercial site, make sure that it has some usable information, not just an advertisement for a Sport Psych service.

By Thursday, January 25, 2007:
Under Discussion Board, the forum labeled Wonderful Websites, post the name of the website, the URL, and a short paragraph that will let others know what is on the site you located. I will add your website to a duplicate URL list under Resources on our Ancillary Materials Website. As the course progresses and you locate additional websites, please forward them to me, and I'll add them, too.
Thanks.

We hope that your journey across the Internet will provide you with a feel for the number of sport psychology resources that are available to you. Again, we would encourage you to let your colleagues know when you locate websites that may be of interest to them, too. Happy Surfing!

2.44 Discussion Board Activity

This Discussion Board activity is related to Learning Experience 1: Asking the Right Research Question. Go to Module 2 Learning Experiences for an explanation of this Discussion Board activity.

Online Application Journal

At the end of each module, you will be asked to post one message in your Groups discussion board that: (1) identifies and discusses at least three major concepts, principles, or ideas gained from the readings and (2) describes briefly why the ideas are important or useful to you; that is, what is your understanding of each concept and what are the implications of each concept for your professional practice or how could they be applied in a sport context?

The aim of the online application journal is threefold:
(1) it demonstrates that you can discuss in your own words concepts from the readings,
(2) it provides a vehicle for relating course content to a "real-world" context or your own work applications, and
(3) it creates a portfolio of shared ideas as a knowledge product for the group.

These posts are to be substantive posts, and will be evaluated based on the following rubric.

Criteria	5 Points	3 Points	1 Point
Nature of Initial Post Content	Substantive and related to readings.	Somewhat substantive and related to readings.	Not substantive and/or not related to readings.
Quality of Initial Post Content	Concepts are clearly and accurately explained.	Most concepts are clearly and accurately explained.	Few concepts are clearly and accurately explained.
Nature of Responses	Substantive.	Somewhat substantive.	Not substantive.
Quantity of Responses	All members of group.	Most members of group.	Less than half of group members.
