Bloom's Taxonomy Blooms Digitally
In the 1950's Benjamin Bloom developed his taxonomy of cognitive objectives, Bloom's Taxonomy . This categorized and ordered thinking skills and objectives. His taxonomy follows the thinking process. You can not understand a concept if you do not first remember it, similarly you can not apply knowledge and concepts if you do not understand them.Examples
1000 Words: A Manifesto for Sustainability in Design
I don't like the word manifesto. It reeks of dogma and rules—two things I instinctually reject. I do love the way it puts things on the line, but I don't like lines, or groups.
If… | Design with Intent
There are lots of models of human behaviour, and as the design of systems becomes increasingly focused on people , modelling behaviour has become more important for designers. As Jon Froehlich, Leah Findlater and James Landay note , “even if it is not explicitly recognised, designers [necessarily] approach a problem with some model of human behaviour”, and, of course, “all models are wrong, but some are useful” . One of the points of the DwI toolkit (post-rationalised) was to try to give designers a few different models of human behaviour relevant to different situations, via pattern-like examples. I’m not going to get into what models are ‘best’ / right / most predictive for designers’ use here.Learning Experience Design (LXD) is a design discipline that aims to make learning more effective and fun. It uses experience as the foundation for learning. There’s a focus on innovative use of media, both analogue and digital. To learn form experience is nothing new. In fact, it is universally accepted as an effective and authentic way of learning.

Information Interplay: Visual Design, Information Architecture, and Content
It took us a while to get to this point. We started by looking at a credit card wallet. She liked the outside design -- an adorable scene from a popular animated movie.
Visual Design Essentials for Non-Designers
A while back, I recorded a podcast with designer, Dan Rubin. This was a follow up to his virtual seminar, Visual Design Essentials for Non-Designers. During the seminar, Dan expressed the idea that design is only the realm of the artistic was a myth. He went on to explain that simply learning basic design principles can give anyone the confidence to create great designs. His presentation really got our audience thinking and they asked so many great questions during the seminar that we didn't have time to answer them all.
The Flexibility of the Four Stages of Competence
Lost for decades, an old model has re-emerged to help how we look at today's design challenges. In the 70s, psychologist Noel Burch suggested a model for how we master skills and relationships, calling it the "conscious competence learning model." It fell into obscurity for decades, only to resurface as a powerful perspective for experience designers. This is where our person starts. They are pretty bad at what they are trying to do, however, they are completely unaware of how bad they are.
Standards Organizations - The Web Standards Project
Who’s responsible for setting the standards for the World Wide Web and the information technology universe in general? Here are some of the major players. The W3C is the source for most of the recommendations that concern web developers. They produce recommendations for the implementation of such technologies as XHTML , the Document Object Model , and Cascading Style Sheets .
The goal of education in the 21st century is not simply the mastery of content knowledge or use of new technologies. It is the mastery of the learning process. Education should help turn novice learners into expert learners—individuals who want to learn, who know how to learn strategically, and who, in their own highly individual and flexible ways, are well prepared for a lifetime of learning.

The Agile Learning Train is Leaving the Station | Unmanagement
I’d planned to begin posting my thoughts about how this Unmanagement/Stoos business impacts the administration and operation of corporate training. My friend Dawn Paulos at Xyleme beat me to the punch. Today, the expectations of learners are much different than they were only a few years ago. Much of what is currently rolled up monolithic, one-size-fits-all courses must give way to small but relevant content updated and delivered continuously to learners based on their individual profiles or needs.Julie Wedgwood - Links and Sites
This is a list of sites and services that I use and recommend regularly. Like my " Practical Tools " section I will keep adding to this list. I hope you find some of them useful.Content Curation - Best Practices | E-Learning Council
Content curation has become a hot topic in 2012. Corrine Weisgerber , an associate professor at St. Edwards University, has an excellent presentation on content curation . She differentiates content curation from content aggregation--content aggregation can be automated but content curation requires the human touch for finding, evaluating and contextualizing information.C4LPT
Welcome to the Centre for Learning and Performance Technologies (C4LPT) C4LPT is a free resource site on the use of new (particularly social) technologies for learning and performance. It is now one of the world’s most visited learning sites on the Web, with over 100,000 visits every month. - Top 100 Tools for Learning 2011 – 5th annual survey of tools, and list compiled from contributions of over 500 learning professionals worldwide. The Social Learning Centre (SLC) is a C4LPT sister site that offers a number of ways to find out more about how to use social media for learning as well as for collaborative working and learning. C4LPT and SLC have been set up by Jane Hart .Graduate to Color - Sherwin-Williams
Want to stimulate a lagging conversation? Introduce the topic of education in America today. You'll get all sorts of opinions about how much is spent on education, what subjects are taught, how students are performing and the need for new schools. What likely won't be mentioned are color schemes for schools. While the color palette selected for any given school may not seem as important as those other topics of discussion, the choice of color used in schools can either enhance or impair learning, morale and behaviors.IDD
