-In-class and Out-of-class- learning portfolio activities compliment the course learning outcomes and create a space for collaborative learning and critical reflection.

-Learning Portfolio Framework- The Catalyst Framework for Learning Portfolio's (see below) provides a visual representation of a theory to practice model on the integration of learning portfolios within institutions, courses, and programs.

The framework identifies five interlocking sectors around the Learning Core, and is guided by three Design Principles:

inquiry, reflection, and integration (IRI).

These principles lead to student learning and growth.

• Inquiry: investigating, asking questions, grappling with ambiguity, cultivating habits of mind

• Reflection: analyzing experience, identifying patterns, creating meaning, deepening learning

• Integration: making connections, linking learning, applying/transferring knowledge across domains Loyola's Learning Portfolio Program uses this framework to guide faculty development, pedagogical approaches, and assessing student learning to design a program that is a high impact practice.
