D024 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
This document provides comprehensive guidance for students enrolled in D024, addressing common questions related to assessment submission, the OneNote ePortfolio, Clinical Practice Experience (CPE), GoReact requirements, performance assessments, APA formatting, and supporting resources. The information below is intended to promote clarity, accuracy, and successful course completion.
Submitting Assessments
How do I submit the 1st task (FDM1)?
To successfully submit the FDM1 task, students must provide two required components through the official submission tab. First, the completed CPE Record must be uploaded directly to the submission portal; this document should not be placed within the ePortfolio. Second, students must submit a shareable OneNote ePortfolio link via the same submission tab. The ePortfolio must contain all required deliverables from Phase I and Phase II of the CPE. Submission should occur only after all elements in both the CPE Record and the ePortfolio are fully completed to ensure alignment with evaluation criteria.
How do I create a shareable OneNote ePortfolio link?
To generate an accessible OneNote ePortfolio link, begin by selecting the Share option located in the upper-right corner of the OneNote interface. From the sharing menu, choose “People you specify can view.” Next, select “People in Western Governors University with the link” and apply the setting. After returning to the previous screen, click Copy link and paste the copied URL into the assessment submission area. This process ensures evaluators can securely access your work.
How do I submit the 2nd task (AIM2)?
The AIM2 task must be submitted exclusively through the assessment submission tab. Students should not upload any AIM2-related documents into their OneNote ePortfolio, as this may result in submission errors or evaluation delays.
How do I submit my performance assessment (AIM2), and what file formats are accepted?
To submit AIM2, navigate to the Assessments tab, select Begin Task Attempt, and use the paperclip icon to attach your files. Acceptable file formats include PDF, DOC, DOCX, PPT, and PPTX. Live or cloud-based links (e.g., SharePoint, Google Drive, or iCloud) are not permitted because originality verification cannot be confirmed and evaluators cannot access version histories. AIM2 submissions must not be completed through OneNote or the ePortfolio.
How does Unicheck function?
Unicheck is an academic integrity tool used to detect plagiarism by comparing student submissions against a vast database of academic and online sources. It supports originality verification and academic honesty. Additional details are available in the WGU Student Handbook (Western Governors University, n.d.).
OneNote ePortfolio
How do I create an ePortfolio in OneNote?
Students should begin by viewing the OneNote instructional video and reviewing the PowerPoint slides available under Course Tips. These resources outline the technical and structural expectations for the ePortfolio. Setup instructions are also provided in Unit 1, page 7 of the course material. Students are advised to model their ePortfolio layout after the MSN Sample Core ePortfolio linked on the same page to ensure consistency and evaluator accessibility.
What content should I upload to my OneNote ePortfolio?
The OneNote ePortfolio must include all Clinical Practice Experience (CPE) deliverables, covering both Phase 1 and Phase 2 requirements documented in the CPE Record. These artifacts demonstrate applied learning and clinical engagement aligned with course outcomes.
Clinical Practice Experience (CPE)
What is the Clinical Practice Experience (CPE)?
The Clinical Practice Experience (CPE) represents the applied, clinical component of the course and prepares students for the AIM2 Performance Assessment. Completion of all CPE activities results in 25 indirect clinical hours. All required artifacts generated during the CPE must be uploaded to the OneNote ePortfolio for evaluation.
Where can I access the CPE Record?
The CPE Record is located in the Assessments section of the course material. After selecting View Task, scroll to the Supporting Documents section to download the file. Because the document contains multiple live links, it is recommended that students save and complete it electronically rather than printing it.
What should my CPE schedule table look like?
The CPE schedule table is used to plan and track progress across required deliverables. A standard format includes three columns, as shown below:
| Deliverable | Estimated Time (Hours/Minutes) | Anticipated Completion Date |
|---|---|---|
| 1a. CPE schedule table | ||
| 1b. LinkedIn profile | ||
| 1c. GoReact video and feedback | ||
| 1d. Reflection summary | ||
| 2a. Social and emotional intelligence (SEI) table | ||
| 2b. GoReact video and feedback | ||
| 2c. Reflection summary |
Students requiring assistance with table creation may contact the Student Success Center.
What does the Social Emotional Intelligence (SEI) table look like?
The SEI table is designed to demonstrate applied understanding of social and emotional intelligence competencies in workplace scenarios. The table typically includes the following columns:
| Social Emotional Intelligence Power Skill | SEI Skill Sets | Scenario Description |
|---|---|---|
| Power Skill 1 | Two related SEI skills | Scenario demonstrating skill use |
| Power Skill 2 | Two related SEI skills | Scenario demonstrating skill use |
| Power Skill 3 | Two related SEI skills | Scenario demonstrating skill use |
| Power Skill 4 | Two related SEI skills | Scenario demonstrating skill use |
| Power Skill 5 | Two related SEI skills | Scenario demonstrating skill use |
Each scenario should illustrate how the identified skills contribute to fostering a healthy, collaborative workplace environment.
How do I cite diagrams from the “Social and Emotional Intelligence ‘Power Skills’” reading (p. 29)?
APA 7th edition formatting should be used when citing diagrams or concepts from this reading.
Reference format:
Western Governors University. (n.d.). Social and emotional intelligence power skills. Professional Presence and Influence. Western Governors University.
Narrative citation example:
Western Governors University (n.d.) explains that…
Parenthetical citation example:
(Western Governors University, n.d.)
For subsequent citations, abbreviations may be used:
Western Governors University (WGU, n.d.) or (WGU, n.d.).
Where do I submit my completed CPE Record?
The finalized CPE Record must be uploaded separately through the submissions tab. It should not be included in the OneNote ePortfolio.
How will I know when I am ready to submit my CPE?
Students are ready to submit once all Phase 1 and Phase 2 deliverables are completed, uploaded to the ePortfolio, and the CPE Record is signed and dated. Both the ePortfolio link and the CPE Record must be submitted independently through the submission portal.
GoReact Videos
Where can I find information about GoReact?
Guidance on GoReact is available on page 9 of the Course of Study, within the CPE Record, and in an instructional document located in the Supporting Documents section of the FDM1 Performance Assessment.
What should be included in the GoReact video reflection summary?
Each reflection summary must meet the criteria outlined in the CPE Record, addressing personal insights, peer feedback, and alignment with course competencies.
Where do I find the GoReact video link?
The correct GoReact link is embedded directly within the CPE Record and requires WGU single sign-on credentials. If prompted to enter an instructor’s name, the incorrect link is likely being used.
Am I required to review other students’ GoReact videos?
Yes. Students must view and provide written feedback on two peer GoReact videos as part of the course requirements.
What should I do if I have issues with GoReact?
Students should first review the instructions on page 9 of the course material. Technical issues should be reported through GoReact’s official support ticket system. Always confirm that the embedded link in the CPE Record is being used.
Performance Assessment
What do I need to submit for my Performance Assessment?
Three components must be submitted together: a Mind Map, a Force Field Analysis, and a Reflective Essay.
Where do I submit my Performance Assessment?
All performance assessment components must be submitted through the submissions tab. These materials should not be uploaded to the OneNote ePortfolio.
What file formats are acceptable for Performance Assessment submissions?
Accepted formats include PDF, DOC, DOCX, PPT, and PPTX. Live or external links are not permitted.
How should I address Section C1 in the paper?
Section C1 should begin with a first-level APA heading. Each bullet point should then be addressed using second-level APA headings. Students should define each concept, provide examples, and support claims with citations. Additional guidance is available in the Student Paper Setup Guide found in Course Tips.
How should I approach Section C2 in the paper?
Section C2 follows the same structure as Section C1. Begin with a first-level heading and use second-level headings for each bullet. Discuss how two social and emotional power skills contribute to each outcome, supported by examples and scholarly citations.
Mind Map
Where can I find a Mind Map example?
A sample Mind Map is provided in Unit 5, page 43 of the course material.
What programs can I use to create a Mind Map?
Recommended tools include Ayoa and MindMup, as outlined in Unit 5 (pp. 43–44). Tutorials are available directly on the MindMup website.
What should be the main idea for my Mind Map?
The central idea must be selected from Appendix B of the IHI Framework for Improving Joy in Work (p. 27). Students should choose a specific change idea from the “Change Ideas to Test” column and avoid overly broad topics.
Force Field Analysis
Must I use the same topic for Force Field Analysis as the Mind Map?
No. Students may select a different topic for the Force Field Analysis, provided all task instructions and rubric requirements are met.
APA Format
Are references required for the reflection paper?
Yes. A minimum of three APA-formatted in-text citations and corresponding references is required.
Is there a link to the 7th edition APA manual in the course material?
Yes. The APA manual link is available on page 8 of the course material.
Must I cite course materials or cohort ideas?
Yes. Any ideas derived from course readings, videos, or cohort discussions must be cited using APA 7th edition standards.
How do I cite the IHI White Paper – IHI Framework for Improving Joy in Work?
