Course Overview

In this 10-week virtual residency, learners apply writing, research, and critical-

thinking skills by identifying a problem, developing project questions, and

finalizing an appropriate project topic for the program. Learners use evidence

to support the selection of theories, problems, and questions to guide further

refinement of their topic. Learners establish an appropriate topic area,

preliminary project design, and begin development of a literature review.

Further development of the doctoral project is determined through a project

topic framework.

The Project Plan helps you develop the details of your project. Your work will be reviewed

through multiple lenses, including instructors, peers, the existing literature, and other sources. You should seek out opportunities to improve and refine your work. As you deepen your

understanding and add detail to your project, you should expect that you will make several revisions during and beyond this course. Doctoral project planning is an iterative process, with

each revision often inspiring further revisions until everything is aligned. These iterations are a necessary part of the doctoral journey.

To successfully complete this course, you must complete all assignments and demonstrate all course competencies at the level of Proficient or above for master's and doctoral-level

courses.

Synchronous Meetings

This course requires individual and small-group synchronous meetings. Please visit the Using Zoom page on Campus for more information.

Research Ethics: CITI Certification

Capella University expects all of its doctoral learners to have a solid understanding of research ethics and best practices for protecting the rights of human research participants. CITI

certification is required to be completed in this course. You will access the CITI Basic Course for Capella Learners on the CITI website and submit your completion certificate and module

scores in a Week 7 assignment.

Feedback will come to you from your peers, instructors, and many other

sources throughout your doctoral journey. As you move on to reflecting upon

and writing the elements of your Project Plan, all feedback will be extremely

valuable to your continued refinement of the foundational elements.

This week you will have an opportunity to reflect and develop the initial sections of the Project

Plan in preparation to receive feedback from your instructor.

SET-UP YELLOWDIG GRADE SYNC

 Set-Up Yellowdig

This courses uses Yellowdig for all discussion assignments. Before posting, you must visit this

link at least once to ensure your Yellowdig discussion activity syncs with the course's gradebook. All learners, regardless of previous experience with Yellowdig, must complete this

step to automatically receive a discussion grade.

 Discussion Overview

Choose one of four discussion prompts: share a source of inspiration for your topic idea; discuss how your topic fits into a field of study; discuss resources to support the development

of your plan for endorsement; or share questions about endorsement requirements for your topic by the school.

 What You Need to Know

Choose the resources that are aligned with your topic and type of method used in your project. Plan to return to these resources often and as needed. Remember, at this point in

your doctoral journey, you are expected to search outside of the courseroom for the resources you need.

Project Questions

View the Virtual Residency Campus page to read How to Craft a Research Question. This document provides the process of writing successful questions and applying this process to

your project's topic and questions.

View the Research Question Hierarchy [DOCX] for a presentation on a framework for supporting scholar-practitioner research.

Topic Selection

For more information on program and specialization alignment, avoiding significant participation risks, and addressing feasibility, view the Topic Selection page on Campus.

View the Virtual Residency Campus page to read the Acceptable Topics and Methods

document for your program and/or specialization.

Qualitative Versus Quantitative Research

View Qualitative Versus Quantitative Research to learn which technique is most appropriate

for your project.

 Prepare: Introducing Yellowdig

Introducing Yellowdig

This course uses a tool called Yellowdig to facilitate course discussions. Yellowdig provides an

interface that resembles social media platforms and makes it easy to participate in discussions.

A Yellowdig account has been automatically created for you. The first time you access a

Yellowdig discussion, you will be asked to acknowledge and confirm your account. Note: You will have the best experience using Yellowdig with the Google Chrome browser.

To learn more about using Yellowdig, visit Tools and Resources. You can also explore the Yellowdig Forums page on Campus.

If you have trouble getting connected to the Yellowdig discussion boards, contact Yellowdig Technical Support.

Grading in Yellowdig

Yellowdig uses a unique discussion points grading system. In this course, points will be given as follows:

Initial post of 50 or more words: 30 points.

Comment (response) of 30 or more words on another learner’s post: 30 points.

Additional points may be awarded by your instructor in the form of accolades (badges).

You can earn a maximum of 120 points each week. Once you reach that maximum, you can still continue your conversations on Yellowdig, but you'll stop earning points for the week.

Your final discussion participation grade will be based on the total number of points you have earned throughout the course. If you earn the maximum of 1,000 points possible for the

course, your final discussion participation grade will be 100%.

Checking Your Progress

To help you stay on track, Yellowdig calculates how many points you should try to earn each

week to ensure you finish the course with a top grade. You can find this information by clicking on the points dashboard area of Yellowdig (on the left-hand menu within the tool).

Your participation grade in your courseroom My Grades area will be updated by Yellowdig throughout the day. Each week it will account for the points you could accumulate that week

as well as the points you already have, so don't be surprised if your grade changes. You’ll get used to the pattern in a few weeks.

Instead, focus on the points displayed in Yellowdig. If you're hitting your maximum points each week, you're good. In fact, you are more than good! Aim for at least 100 points each week to

stay on track.

Using Yellowdig

Yellowdig is designed to take a less formal approach to discussing course content. Think of it

as a playground for ideas. We still expect you to use APA style for citations and references. However, we want you to focus on writing short, succinct posts about the course content

rather than lengthy essays.

Try to start a conversation on the new topics you learn each week. Also, share additional

resources with one another to help everyone better understand and explore new ideas.

This is an environment designed to give you flexibility and control. Take advantage of that to

learn in the manner best suited to you.
