The maker movement in education is linked to better, more authentic learning that can help students develop 21st century competencies. Maker experiences, like any experiential learning, can be limited by decontextualized, recipe-style labs and fail to deliver on the promise of engaged learners ready to learn on demand and solve the ill-defined problems of the 21st century. Our multiphase research program on maker culture in education held a series of exploratory workshops and social events to discover the competencies required to turn experiential learning with technology into maker experiences that meet 21st century needs.

In English for Specific Purposes (ESP), Integrative Learning has been used in many contexts as a conceptual and structural framework for designing holistic and authentic learning experiences. This approach encompasses many intradisciplinary, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspectives. Given the prominent role of English for Legal Purposes (ELP) or Legal English (LE) in legal education, this article explores the theoretical framework of Integrative Learning approach to ELP/LE curriculum design for academic and professional purposes in tertiary education. The first part of the paper presents the conceptual framework of Integrative Learning in contemporary education, legal education and ESP/ELP instruction. The second part examines the conceptual framework and tenets of different (intra/multi/inter/transdisciplinary) approaches to curriculum design. The third part reviews the tenets of the integrated curriculum, as a structural framework for integration of these diverse perspectives, focusing on the major challenges and multidimensional alignments in ELP/LE course design. As integrative learning offers viable solutions for authentic learning in various academic/professional contexts, the paper aims to encourage cooperation in developing integrated law-andlanguage programs and promoting interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary legal education.

Inculcating a safety focused mindset is an important part of an engineering education, as highlighted by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board curriculum requirement to cover occupationalhealth and safety. Despite the importance of coveringsafety related material, many university faculty arehesitant to cover elements of safety management due tounfamiliarity with the material. In response, MinervaSafety Management Education has developed teachingmodule slide sets covering a wide range of safetymanagement topics that are freely available forinstructors to use in their classes.In this paper, we report on the next phase ofmodule deployment: the transformation of a slide set intoan electronically facilitated, self-contained, independentlearning module. This new format includes narratedlessons and automatic grading of comprehension tests.The format removes the time burden from instructors andteaching assistants, while enabling students to absorb thematerial at their own pace outside of class instructionalhours. The module is designed to be compatible withexisting learning management systems and easilyincorporated into existing course websites. We reportstudent feedback on this new format and share findingsapplicable to the development and conversion of futureself-contained electronic learning modules.
