    Capstones IUPUI High-Impact Practice Taxonomy

    The capstone is a signature, culminating experience that requires students to integrate knowledge, skills, and dispositions acquired during college and apply them in a situation that approximates some aspect of disciplinary practice. Students are prepared to achieve excellence in the capstone when the unit has intentionally designed a pathway that strategically places the capstone at the end of the students’ journey. In this way, the capstone is integrated and connected to the undergraduate experience, and is not a stand-alone course or experience. The Capstones Taxonomy differentiates the five attributes of capstones along three dimensions of impact. The common thread that works across all five attributes is as follows: High Impact: The capstone impacts students in the short-term for the duration of the course. The positive impact of the capstone accrues to each individual student. Higher Impact: The capstone impacts the entire class as students share experiences with each other. The impact of the capstone should be felt after the class concludes. Highest Impact: The capstone supports or advances the engagement of students with their next steps and impacts their trajectory in a lasting way. Students see the interdependent connections between their work and the world.

    Service Learning Courses IU Indianapolis High-Impact Practice Taxonomy
    (Indiana University, 2024-08-09) Bishop, Charity; Brown, Lorrie; Daday, Jerry; Garrity, Karen; Hahn, Thomas; Hyatt, Susan; Lienemann, Charli; Price Mahoney, Jennifer; Shukla, Anubhuti; Zoeller, Aimee
    Service learning is identified as a high-impact practice: that is, a teaching and learning practice that shows “evidence of significant educational benefits for students who participate in them—including and especially those from demographic groups historically underserved by higher education” (AAC&U, 2023). The purpose of the IU Indianapolis Taxonomy for Service Learning Courses is to: 1. Support instructors by providing clear criteria for teaching high impact service learning courses. 2. Identify service learning course attributes, explore the relationship between the attributes and student outcomes, and provide assessment guidelines for the attributes. 3. Inform and advance a research agenda for service learning by identifying course attributes that may affect student outcomes, (e.g., civic learning, academic learning, personal growth), as well as outcomes for other stakeholders (e.g., faculty development, community impact, community partner collaboration and satisfaction). 4. Provide a tool to document evidence to support instructors’ promotion, tenure, and professional advancement. 5. Support institutional and multi-campus research on service learning courses with a common taxonomy. 6. Provide a framework and approach for other institutions to either adopt or adapt the taxonomy, depending upon how service learning is conceptualized within each institution’s mission and context.
