Digital taxonomies of educational objectives are structured frameworks that categorize and organize learning goals in digital or e-learning environments. They adapt traditional educational taxonomies—such as Bloom's taxonomy—to digital contexts, helping educators design, deliver, and assess online learning experiences effectively. These taxonomies aim to specify cognitive, psychomotor, and affective objectives in a way that aligns with digital tools, multimedia resources, and online assessments.
