Web-Based University Courses and Bloom's Taxonomy

Because, as already discussed, Web-based courses tend to be learner centered, they require cognitive (thinking) activity at the higher levels identified in Bloom's taxonomy. In most courses, textbook materials, syllabus directions, and guidance from the instructor are made available to assist you in moving through the lower taxonomy levels of remembering and understanding. But, you have to make the effort to acquire the knowledge, remember it, and grasp for it until it is clearly understood.
