Moodle and Blooms Taxonomy
Blooms Taxonomy
Is a classification of learning objectives used in education.
It is derived from the work of Benjamin Bloom et al. “The Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, The Classification of Educational Goals, Handbook I: Cognitive Domain”
The original books was only intended to focus on the three main domains; the Active, psychomotor and Cognitive domains.
“Within the taxonomy learning at the higher levels is dependent on having attained prerequisite knowledge and skills at lower levels” (Orlich, et al. 2004)
The goal of this approach was to enable educators to create a more holisticform of education.
Affective
“Skills in the affective domain describe the way people react emotionally and their ability to feel another living thing's pain or joy. Affective objectives typically target the awareness and growth in attitudes, emotion, and feelings.” This is outlined in Figure 1.

PsychomotorThis describes the ability to manipulate (by hand) a tool or instrument like a square and compass. They focus on development of behaviour and or skills.

Moodle and Blooms TaxonomyCognitiveThis revolves around knowledge, comprehension and critical thinking, in which traditional teaching tends to emphasize these skills as seen in Figure 2.
There are six levels to this moving through the lowest order to highest
4
Knowledge Exhibit memory of previously-learned materials by recalling facts, terms, basic concepts and answers
Comprehension Demonstrative understanding of facts and ideas by organising, comparing, translating, interpreting, giving descriptions, and stating main ideas
Application Using new knowledge. Solve problems to new situations by applying acquired knowledge, facts, techniques and rules in a different way
Analysis Examine and break information into parts by identifying motives or causes. Make inferences and find evidence to support generalisations
Synthesis Compile information together in a different way by combining elements in a new pattern or proposing alternative solutions
Evaluation Present and defend opinions by making judgments about information, validity of ideas or quality of work based on a set of criteria

Moodle and Blooms TaxonomyBlooms Revised Taxonomy
In the mid 1990’s Blooms Original Taxonomy was revised by a former student
of Blooms. The main changes were to change the nouns to verb format and
by slightly rearranging them Figure 3. The new taxonomy reflects a more
accurate and active form of thinking.

Moodle and Blooms Taxonomy
Blooms Digital Taxonomy as a Word Map. Wordle is a free online program that sorts listed of words with the most common or dominant word being displayed as the largest and the next most common the second largest and so on. This is useful to see which verb is dominate when looking a Blooms domains. The following visually represent this.

Bloom's revised taxonomy and Digital Approaches
This diagram is based on Andrew Churches Blooms revised digital approach, combining the traditional verbs and inserting relevant digital examples, for example creating a written piece of work becomes blogged Fig. 5

Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy and Moodle
By combing Blooms taxonomy domains and verbs and their corresponding digital term and then linking with Moodle activities you arrive at the following Blooms and Moodle chart. Fig 6

Create collaborative Moodle wikis, assignments (upload), mind maps, upload videos(embed into wikis), publish documents, link upload podcast and plan a lesson.
Discussion forums, create collaborative Moodle wikis, create blogs, forums with peer review (grading) and Moodle journal review of own learning,
Survey and choices within Moodle, using Moodle database, Moodle glossary, Moodle wikis, blogs, lessons and assignments (upload, online).
Use of SCORM eg NLN, upload load screen capture (Screenr), upload slideshare, PowerPoint, video, podcast, collaborative wikis and Moodle quiz
Moodle blog, journal, collaborative Moodle wiki, Moodle glossary, Moodle RSS feed (Mashable eg Voicethread)
Moodle glossary, check list using wiki, Moodle quizzes, lessons and complete a search activity within Moodle

Blooms Digital Taxonomy and Moodle Below is an example how a Moodle course could be created and maintained using Blooms Digital Taxonomy in this case it shows a simple format in that...
Moodle can be used to create, form or facilitate an activity. Moodle can be used to assess students.
