Assessment Taxonomy Table

The course I will be using for this assignment and the final assignment is one that I would very much like to teach online. It is a course for zoo professionals to better understand the genetic management methods for captive animals. The four learning objectives I have chosen for the final are:

  • After listing at least 6 components of a studbook, decide how a studbook keeper can use the SPARKS data to make breeding and transfer recommendations.
  • Given 3 informative web page links, students will conclude how 2-3 conservation issues affect their species and write a 3-4 sentence explanation for each.
  • By using the crane husbandry manual, students will create a range map (PDF version) for their particular species.
  • Given access to the wiki web site address, each student will organize their species' wiki page within the class wiki by creating a minimum of 10 links and uploading a minimum of 4 documents (studbook and Master Plan will be required).
Using these objectives, and others for the different modules, I developed with this Assessment Taxonomy Table. For each of the different levels of Bloom's Taxonomy, I added an activity and the verbs that would describe what is taking place when the students do each of the activities.
