In this seminar, Professors Don Stepich and
Yonnie Chyung from the Instructional & Performance Technology
Department addressed interactive learning strategies by looking at them in
light of Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, which are commonly
used by educators to guide the development of instructional materials and
criteria for assessing student performance. The seminar used Bloom’s
Taxonomy as the framework for providing practical information about three
important aspects of designing and delivering an online course: (1)
creating instructional activities that engage the learners, (2)
facilitating online discussions that help students build knowledge
together, and (3) developing meaningful assessments of student
performance.
The PowerPoint slides used during the seminar are reproduced here, along with the presenters' explanatory notes. Also reproduced here is a handout containing a rubric for assessing and evaluating student participation in online discussions.
