Applying Bloom's taxonomy of cognition to knowledge management systems

This research in progress includes the conceptual development of a model and metrics to determine and classify the level of cognition and added value included in selected knowledge management (KM) systems. Bloom’s Taxonomy of Cognitive Objectives and Greenwood’s Six C’s of the Knowledge Supply Chain will be analyzed in several enterprise and web applications. Bloom’s model uses six cognitive levels (knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation) and Greenwood’s model uses six supply chain criteria (create, clarify classify, communicate, comprehend and group create). The study can provide valuable information for CIO’s, trainers, and other personnel involved with knowledge context, media and management.
