Blooms TL 1.0

This review focuses on the Blooms TL app, which categorizes learning outcome statements according to Bloom's Taxonomy as revised by Anderson and Krathwohl in 2001. This taxonomy serves as a framework for understanding the cognitive complexity students engage in during various learning activities and assessment tasks. The six levels outlined in Bloom's Taxonomy include: remembering, comprehending, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating.

The app employs tables that classify parts of speech corresponding to specific levels within Bloom's framework. These classifications are grounded in research, as documented in the educational literature by Stanny (2016) and von Konsky et al. (2018), providing a robust foundation for the app’s methodology.

For those interested in seeing classification examples, a detailed presentation is available at this link.
