Application of Bloom’s revised taxonomy activities to design Unix skills of increasing difficulty.
The left-hand side of the figure shows the revised Bloom’s taxonomy. The columns at the top describe the groups of Unix skills that are mandatory for bioinformatics, classified by theme and ordered by increasing difficulty. These groups are named UM 1 to UM 5, in reference to the Unix Modules developed in the sandbox.bio tutorials.
Fig 2.
The four skill levels and learning outcomes for bioinformaticians (U1 to U4).
The table presents examples of learning outcomes for each level; refer to the complete documents to view the full extent [15,16]. U5 to U7 refers to three additional levels that will be defined in future versions.
