Bloom's Taxonomy Report
Accessing the Taxonomy Report
Select the appropriate level in your org chart given your access.
Note
Taxonomy Reports are available to Administrators at all levels where outcomes are being tracked (institution, division, school, department, course, or section level).
Select the Taxonomy tab.
Adjusting the Taxonomy Report
Select the visualization toggle on the left to adjust your view.
Note
Visualization will reflect the percentage of your outcomes that fall within the appropriate Blooms taxonomy level.
Select the menu on the right to switch between Blooms and Meta-Blooms visualizations.
Adjusting how Data is Shown
Because the organizational tree within Outcomes works based on the concept of inheritance users have the option to view data for a single level or an aggregation for the given level and its child levels. For example, we can view a taxonomy report for the Accounting department (viewing as the department), or we can choose to view a taxonomy report for the Accounting department and the courses and sections that report to the Accounting department (aggregation).
To adjust the view of data within the taxonomy report, follow these steps:
From the Show data for menu, select a unit view or an aggregated view.
The organizational level appears in this menu. For example, in the screenshot above we see "Department" and "Aggregate". We see department because we are currently in the Accounting department level. If we moved to a institutional, divisional, course or section level that would that menu would change to reflect this.
