Each type is characterized by a different application of these components and each has a place in our Integrated Learning Garden. In Linked or Paired Courses, joint assignments are generally graded separately, although other faculty may offer comments. In Learning Clusters, faculty often grade assignments together, each offering expertise in a different discipline. In Coordinated Studies, all assignments are graded by all faculty.
Students receive one grade for the entire group of courses.
Courses, which are two discrete courses with some joint assignments or activities, there is generally no team teaching. In Coordinated Studies, all faculty teach together all the time. Co-Learning These may range from one joint paper or assignment to completely integrated activities. In some models, such as Coordinated Studies, all students are required to be co-enrolled in all linked courses. Co-Planning may consist of faculty discussing the linking of one assignment in separate courses.
