Faculty Development Program on Instructional Design Using Bloom’s Taxonomy
This faculty development program was designed to enhance educators' ability to create effective instructional plans and assessments using Bloom’s Taxonomy. The program focused on understanding and applying the six levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy (Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, and Create) to curriculum design and teaching strategies. The goal was to help faculty improve their lesson planning, delivery, and assessment techniques to promote higher-order thinking in students.
- Empowered faculty to integrate Bloom’s Taxonomy into their teaching practices.
- Improved faculty’s ability to design lessons that foster critical thinking and active learning.
- Enhanced assessment techniques to align with different levels of Bloom's Taxonomy, allowing for more comprehensive student evaluations.
- Increased engagement in classroom discussions and more dynamic teaching strategies.

Faculty Development Program on Instructional Design Using the ADDIE Model
This faculty development program introduced educators to the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate), a widely used framework for creating effective and engaging instructional materials. The program aimed to empower faculty members with the skills to systematically design courses, training programs, and assessments that align with learning objectives and cater to diverse student needs.
- Educators gained a clear understanding of the ADDIE model and its practical applications.
- Faculty learned how to design learner-centric instructional materials aligned with course objectives.
- Participants developed the ability to evaluate and improve their course materials based on learner feedback.
- Strengthened faculty's confidence in integrating technology and multimedia into their instructional designs.
