Karen, Great post. We tend to dismiss the importance of the lower level learning but you are right, students need the baseline knowledge such as terms or broad based knowledge. Education is building on knowledge and you need a good foundation. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Eric, Great post! You don't want to measure their learning just by objective questions, you want the students to show you want they can do. That may be through projects or discussion where they have to apply their learning in a variety of real world ways. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
