eLearning and Bloom’s Taxonomy
eLearning is not appropriate for everything. It is more useful for the lower end of Bloom’s cognitive outcomes:
- Evaluation
- Synthesis
- Analysis
- Application
- Compehension
- Knowledge
Application, comprehension, and knowledge outcomes lend themselves well to the kinds of learning objectives at which eLearning excels:
- List, define …
- Describe, identify …
- Complete, classify …
If your learning objectives start with the foregoing list of words (or similar words), your training may be a candidate for eLearning.
