Assessment Taxonomy Table Template - Cyndy Koons

Review the objectives and activities from a module in your own (current or future) online
course. Then select three or four objectives and decide where they and their activities belong
in Blooms categories. It is not necessary to have all objectives in different categories, but
please use at least three different levels.
This type of analysis will not only help you develop your course assessment plans but will also
help you decide which assessment activities are most valuable.
