Blooming Your Objectives 

When Learners Don’t Learn

Have you ever seen content developers beam with delight because their newly published training course is achieving high completion rates and earning passing quiz scores, only to see that delight turn into frustration when the learners immediately return to their old ways? 

Here’s a thought: maybe it’s because of bad learning objectives. 

Learning objectives drive the direction of the training, so if they are set up wrong, the rest of the course can fall apart. 

Transform these fleeting successes into lasting impact by incorporating Bloom’s Taxonomy into the creation of your learning objectives. Here’s why this works: as you ascend the levels of learning, you reach higher levels of application, including actionable behavior. So, when you create low-level objectives, you get low-level results such as training completions and quiz scores. On the other hand, when you create high-level objectives, you can achieve actionable behavior change. 

I call this approach Blooming Your Objectives.
