4. Synthesis : Contextualize and synthesize selected information to engage in ongoing scholarship and communities of learning and/or practice. 

5. Source Attribution : Contribute to ongoing scholarship and communities of learning and/or practice through ethical reflection, proper attribution, and respect of intellectual property.
