ProProfs\u2019 LMS software allows instructors to test learners\u2019 ability to perform all six categories of cognitive learning. By combining ProProfs classrooms and Bloom\u2019s taxonomy of critical thinking, online learners are ensured to build critical thinking skills that extend beyond simple memorization. Being able to apply, synthesize, and categorize course material will allow e-learners to think outside the box and apply those skills to their workplaces.<\/p>\n
