Notes: How to Write Learning Objectives Using Bloom's Taxonomy

I'll admit that Course Design on a Shoestring Budget doesn't sound like comprehensive learning resource but I was able to digest and then explain what I'd learnt from this video suprising well!

Notes

Bloom's taxonomy covers lower to higher order learning. Each level building on another. This includes:

Lower order:

1. Remember
2. Understand
3. Apply

Higher order:

1. Analyse
2. Evaluate
3. Create

A advanced course might be tailored to higher order domains and students will be expected to have foundational knowledge.

That’s not to say a course tailored toward higher learning won’t have aspects for lower order domains.

To create a learning objective:

• Start with a stem sentence e.g. "After completing the lesson, the student will be able to..."
• Determine a learning outcome
• Combine with a verb from Bloom's wheel tool

It's quite a short video so it'd be worth just watching the whole thing.
