Which template should I use?

(Based on Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, Incorporated from "Web-Based Training 2nd Edition" by Margaret Driscoll.)

In order to select which template to use, it might be helpful to take a look at your course objectives. Once objectives have been written, it is easy to identify what cognitive skills need to be taught as part of course.

By looking at the cognitive skills that need to be learned, it is easy to select which type of web template will work for your class format.

According to Bloom, Hastings, Madaus (1971) there are six levels of cognitive skills:

Knowledge
Recall of specific information or pieces of information.

Comprehension
Using knowledge without really understanding its impact in the world or relating it to other material.

Application
The ability to take general knowledge and apply it to problem solving.

Analysis
Breaking down a problem or information into parts to arrive at a solution.

Synthesis
The ability to put pieces of information together in order to form a whole.

Evaluation
Taking information or materials and judging its worth to finding a solution.

Use the following Matrix to help select a template.

 

Templates	Knowledge	Comprehension	Application	Analysis	Synthesis	Evaluation
Blue	Yes	Yes
Orange			Yes		Yes	Yes
Green		Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Red			Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Yellow		Yes	Yes		Yes

The Green Template is the focus of this Workshop. If the Green Template does not match the format of your course, return to the Online Academy Homepage and select the Workshop for the appropriate template.
