Description

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping education, challenging traditional frameworks like Bloom's Taxonomy. This session introduces a reframed Bloom's Taxonomy that expands beyond "Create" to include a new Transform layer, enabling learners to apply knowledge for real-world and social impact. Expanding on the white paper Reframing Bloom's for the Age of AI, we'll share strategies for embedding AI literacy, fostering critical thinking, and driving academic innovation.

Join us to discover how reframing Bloom's can help UMBC strengthen pedagogy, support academic innovation, and prepare future-ready graduates.

This session will be facilitated by Dr. Lisa Clark, Associate Vice President, Academic Transformation, Blackboard, and Dr. Mariann Hawken, Director of Instructional Technology.
