Bloom's Taxonomy Wheel for Writing Learning Outcomes

Jon Dron — Sat, 06 Oct 2012 10:33:39 -0700

A very neat set of infographics providing assistance for those writing learning outcomes. Each of the wheels shown here contains lists of terms to use and some provide help with identifying grading criteria. While Benamin Bloom's taxonomy is a weakly founded armchair theory that is notably flawed from start to finish, devices like this remain useful in helping designers of learning experiences to reflect on what they are doing and what they hope to achieve.
