This perspective has been further developed in two recent publications by Linn and Eylon (2006, 2012). A webinar "Knowledge Integration in Rich Learning Environments: Challenges for Teaching and Learning" describes the perspective and summarizes recent studies in this area. This framework has guided the design of learning materials. Recent studies of graduate students in the department have used the framework to design tools for qualitative analysis.
