Positioning Integration in the Student’s Experience
One of the great challenges in higher education is to foster students’ abilities to integrate their
learning across contexts and over time. Learning that helps develop integrative
capacities is important because it builds habits of mind that prepare students to make
informed judgments in the conduct of personal, professional, and civic life; such learning is, we believe, at the very heart of liberal education.

Integrative learning is… (Rubric Definition)
an understanding and a disposition that a student builds across the curriculum and co-curriculum, from making simple connections among ideas and experiences to synthesizing and transferring learning to new, complex situations within and beyond the campus.

Hallmarks of Integrative Learning(Rubric Framing Language)
Connects previous learning to new learning
Occurs as learners address real-world problems, unscripted and sufficiently broad, to require multiple areas of knowledge and multiple modes of inquiry, offering multiple solutions from multiple perspectives
Creates confident, life-long learners
Provides learners with the ability to adapt
Helps learners make connections
…this learning may not be as evident…unless the student…is prompted to draw implications for practice
Connections often surface…in reflective work, self assessment, or creative endeavors of all kinds
Artificial barriers between formal study and informal or tacit learning becomes permeable.
Connects theory & practice towards a greater understanding

Working on 2 Levels
What kinds of integration do we want to see in our students’ ePortfolios? Why is this particularly important as a key feature of ePortfolios?
Is the VALUE rubric useful for seeing integration more clearly?
