Purpose
This LurnyMagic page allows content creators to generate microlessons structured around the desired depth of learning. It uses Bloom’s Taxonomy to help ensure that the lesson content, learning activities and questions are appropriate for what learners are expected to know or do.
This is useful when the creator wants to move beyond simply presenting information and design learning for a specific cognitive outcome.
What is Bloom’s Taxonomy?
Bloom’s Taxonomy is a widely used framework for defining learning objectives. It organises cognitive learning into six progressive levels:
Remember – Recall facts, terms or procedures.
Understand – Explain ideas in one’s own words.
Apply – Use knowledge in a practical situation.
Analyse – Examine information and identify relationships or causes.
Evaluate – Make and justify decisions using appropriate criteria.
Create – Develop a new solution, plan or output.
For example, in a customer-service lesson:
Remember: List the steps for handling a complaint.
Understand: Explain why acknowledging the customer’s concern is important.
Apply: Select the correct response in a customer scenario.
Analyse: Identify what caused a conversation to escalate.
Evaluate: Judge which resolution would be most appropriate.
Create: Develop a response plan for a complex complaint.
How to create the microlesson
Open Create a Microlesson from the left-side menu.
Select Bloom’s Taxonomy.
Choose the required Bloom’s level:
Foundational
Intermediate
Advanced
Select the source option:
Prompt
URL/YouTube
File Upload
Enter the topic, link or source material, depending on the selected option.
Choose between Cluster and Single Microlesson.
Select the required difficulty: Easy, Medium or Hard.
Click Create.
Review the generated content and questions before publishing.
Lurny structures the microlesson and its questions according to the selected cognitive level.
Selecting the source
Prompt
Choose Prompt when you want Lurny to generate content from a topic or instruction.
Example:
Create a microlesson for branch employees on handling an upset customer while protecting the organisation’s service standards.
URL/YouTube
Choose this option when the lesson should be based on an existing webpage or YouTube video. Paste the relevant link for Lurny to process.
File Upload
Choose this option to generate the lesson from an approved document, presentation or other supported file.
Choosing the appropriate Bloom’s level
Foundational
Use this level when learners are new to the topic or need to recall essential information.
Suitable for:
New-employee induction
Policy awareness
Product features
Terminology and definitions
Basic process steps
Example objective:
By the end of this microlesson, the learner will be able to list the five steps in the customer onboarding process.
Intermediate
Use this level when learners need to apply knowledge or analyse a situation.
Suitable for:
Process application
Customer-handling scenarios
Troubleshooting
Risk identification
Comparing available options
Example objective:
By the end of this microlesson, the learner will be able to identify the most suitable action when customer documentation is incomplete.
Advanced
Use this level when learners must exercise judgement, evaluate alternatives or create solutions.
Suitable for:
Leadership development
Complex decision-making
Credit or risk assessment
Strategy and planning
Handling exceptions and escalations
Example objective:
By the end of this microlesson, the learner will be able to evaluate a complex customer complaint and develop an appropriate resolution plan.
Bloom’s level versus difficulty
The Bloom’s level and Difficulty settings serve different purposes:
Bloom’s level determines the type of thinking expected from the learner.
Difficulty determines how simple or challenging the content and questions will be within that level.
For example, an intermediate lesson may ask learners to apply a familiar procedure in an Easy scenario or apply the same procedure in a more ambiguous Hard scenario.
Generation settings
Cluster
Select Cluster when the subject includes several related learning objectives. Lurny divides it into multiple connected microlessons.
Single Microlesson
Select Single Microlesson when the topic and learning objective can be covered in one focused learning experience.
In the screen shown, Intermediate, Cluster and Medium difficulty are selected.

Recommended practices
Begin by defining what learners should be able to do after completing the lesson.
Select the Bloom’s level based on the expected outcome, not merely the learner’s seniority.
Use action verbs such as list, explain, apply, analyse, evaluate or develop.
Use workplace examples and scenarios for intermediate and advanced learning.
Avoid selecting Advanced when the objective only requires learners to remember facts.
Review whether the generated questions genuinely test the selected cognitive level.
Verify all AI-generated content before publishing.
Important: Selecting a higher Bloom’s level does not automatically make a lesson better. The correct level is the one that matches the intended learning objective and the actions learners must perform in the workplace.
