myPurpose:This discussion board content is intended to facilitate learning for students
through engaging dialogues as they achieve the desired learning outcomes/competencies
associated with their course in a manner that empowers them to organize, integrate, apply
and critically appraise their knowledge to their selected field of practice.The use of
discussions provides students with opportunities to contribute graduate level-appropriate
knowledge and experience to the topic in a safe, caring, and fluid environment that models
professional and social interaction. The ebb and flow of a discussion is based upon the
composition of student and faculty interaction in the quest for relevant
scholarship.Participation in the discussion generates opportunities for students to actively
engage in the written ideas of others by carefully reading, researching, reflecting, and
responding to the contributions of their peers and course faculty. Discussions foster the
development of members into a community of learners as they share ideas and inquiries,
consider perspectives that may be different from their own, and integrate knowledge from
other disciplines.Activity Learning OutcomesThrough this assignment, the student will
