How We Use Bloom’s Taxonomy to Make Learning Stick

At Examfly.com, we design learning interactions with Bloom’s Taxonomy at the core – a proven framework that guides learners from basic recall to deep understanding, critical thinking, and real-world application.

Here’s how we map our tools to different levels of Bloom’s:

⸻

📘 Remember / Understand

🎞️ Animated Explainer Videos
Break down complex ideas using dual coding (visual + verbal) and chunking (manageable content blocks) making learning easier to process and retain.

✅ Multiple Choice Quizzes (MCQs)
Reinforce foundational knowledge through retrieval practice, strengthening memory and improving long-term recall.

⸻

🛠️ Apply

We design interactive tools that help learners transfer knowledge into action including:

🧩 Drag & Drop Bucket Games
Apply classification rules by sorting items into the correct buckets – fast, fun, and cognitively engaging.

📜 Paragraph Fill-in-the-Blanks
Apply knowledge in realistic sentence-level contexts, ensuring understanding beyond keywords.

🎰 Fruit Machine Scenario Game
Spin to receive a unique set of conditions, then answer context-based questions. This randomised challenge builds adaptability and real-world readiness.

⸻

🔍 Analyse

🧮 Double Entry Bookkeeping Games
Learners are presented with a Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss statement. They evaluate the effect of a transaction and determine where it belongs reinforcing an understanding of how real-world events flow through the financial statements via double entry logic.

🧾 Legislative Interpretation Game
Learners review real sections of tax legislation, answer interpretation questions, and highlight the specific clause that supports their answer — building skills in legal reasoning, precision, and evidence-based justification.

⸻

💡 Evaluate / Create

📝 Case Study-Based Free Text Entry (coming soon)
Simulate real-world scenarios that require constructing responses, justifying decisions, and thinking critically – perfect for reaching Bloom’s highest cognitive levels.

⸻

🌟 Why It Matters

By aligning every interaction with a clear cognitive goal, we make sure learning isn’t just engaging – it’s transformative.

Our goal?
To help learners think, not just click.
