Abstract: This article presents research findings from a curricular integration experience of a software application denominated Interactive Graphic Organiser.Such integration was implemented through a series of learning activities in the Information Systems Design course that belongs to the seventh semester in the Industrial Civil Engineering degree at the University of Santiago of Chile.A set of eight different types of graphic organisers were used to foster the development of a series of cognitive skills and appropriation of specific disciplinary content.Research was conducted through a cuasiexperimental design where students from the experimental group (the course) were invited to use the selected set of graphic organisers in their learning and assessment activities.A working hypothesis was tested for the curriculum integration, confirming that the use of graphic organisers significantly improved the involved cognitive skills and the assessed disciplinary content.
