This resource is designed to support you with connecting your learning outcomes to options for summative assessment that may be delivered online.
The starting point for this process is Bloom’s Taxonomy, which identifies levels of learning goals, moving from basic competencies (remembering content) to more advance competencies (creating knowledge). Bloom’s Taxonomy can help you to reflect on your course learning outcomes and focus on what you would like your students to be able to do by the end of the course.
The final stage requires linking the learning outcomes to a set of options for online summative assessment. (Online Participation Rubric Samples.pdf
