Write better learning outcomes by swapping Blooms for the SOLO taxonomy (Biggs and Collis).

Blooms is a nice conceptual model of surface to deep learning. But when it comes to measurable and observable assessment objectives, it doesn't work. It simple does.not.work. What does work is considering what students can do with individual units of information. Can they recall them? Relate them? Apply them? Now it works. This is the essence of Biggs and Collis SOLO taxonomy. When I was first introduced to the SOLO taxonomy at a conference five years ago, it changed my whole teaching approach and sparked everything I've done since. I want to spread the word so it can have the same effect on you. Link to Mr Biggs' original site: https://www.johnbiggs.com.au/academic... The SOLO taxonomy formed the basis of my themaNtic model of curriculum design. But I've made a few tweaks to the SOLO taxonomy so now I think it works better.
