1. Create a group discussion forum for the “One New Thing I Now Know!” discussion designed for collaborative participation by all learners. 2. Create a group discussion forum for learners to post what they found to be the most interesting fact or information from the materials covered in the course thus far and respond to at least two other learners. 3.

 * Course Content** **Preparation:**


 * e-Classroom Facilitation** - Monitor postings for netiquette and appropriate communication –intervene only when necessary for the group and respond to all individual learner posts with your own “post” and acknowledge how one of the learner posts has had an impact upon you; encourage learners to review all posts of their peers for a positive online group experience.


 * Activity Concept Credit** Based on my current traditional face-to-face BA 101 course

This is your opportunity to reflect back on the first four chapters of the text and other learning materials and then communicate a minimum of one new concept or content knowledge you learned in the last four weeks. Provide your private individual posting in the Three New Things and the collaborative group posting in this discussion forum. What intrigued you the most? What surprised you? Why is it important? How will this be useful to you in the future? 1. Subject Line should read: One New Thing - Your last name and first initial goes here. 2. Discuss a minimum of one new thing which you have learned over the first four weeks of the course. Consider the following questions as you reflect back on the activities and course materials: a) Are you able to use the new information in your current work/school situation and how? b) What was the source of the new information? c) Why did this particular new information topic come to mind? 3. Posting requirements:
 * Instructor Posting and Learner Full Instructions within ANGEL**
 * Follow these guidelines: **
 * 1) Post one original post which contains the one new thing in the private discussion forum.
 * 2) Respond to a minimum of two classmate discussion posts to indicate whether the concept/information was either new to you or illustrate how the concept/idea is related to an actual event (current or historical). Take the time to review posts by all of your classmates.

4. All responses need to be completed by the beginning of the sixth week of the term - Monday at 6:00 a.m. 5. Grading: 20 discussion points awarded per the grading rubric

6. Tips for Success: Review the discussion board tips located on the home page in the tips for success section, remember netiquette, be respectful and use proper sentence structure and grammar.
