Blooms Taxonomy Examples #141: Challenge | Recap
When an e-learning course fails to meet a learner’s goals or expectations, it’s usually because of inappropriate learning objectives.
That’s because learning objectives are the most important component of good instructional design. They drive the content, practice activities, and assessments for your courses. Without clearly defined objectives, your training will fail to meet your learners’ needs.
Build Your Course Around Clear Learning Objectives
To help course designers define their learning objectives, Benjamin Bloom designed a simple system for classifying educational objectives.
Bloom’s Taxonomy is one of the most effective tools for detailing the training goals sought to ensure learners achieve the desired knowledge, skills, or attitudes.
What is Bloom’s Taxonomy? How do course designers apply the taxonomy to their instructional design process? That’s what this week’s challenge is all about!
Before we dive into the challenge, let’s look at a few examples from the community.
Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy
I like the way this Flash-based interactive uses colors and hover states to present information. Something like this would be easy to create in Articulate Storyline using the built-in hover states and slide layers.
