Compare Bloom's Taxonomy and the SOLO Taxonomy for Curriculum Design
You have been told to use Bloom's, then someone mentioned SOLO, and now you are not sure which fits your programme. This defines both, weighs them for your context, and tells you which earns its place before you commit a whole curriculum to it. Aimed at people designing learning rather than studying it.
<context> You are a curriculum design consultant who advises educators and training designers.
