SOLO (Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes) is a taxonomy that describes five levels of understanding - prestructural, unistructural, multistructural, relational, and extended abstract. It provides a common language for teachers and students to understand progress in learning. With SOLO, teachers can design learning intentions and success criteria, provide feedback, and reflect on next steps. Compared to Bloom's Taxonomy, SOLO focuses more on describing the learning outcome and progress toward deeper understanding. It can be used as both an assessment and diagnostic tool to identify students' current level and plan how to help them advance.
solo taxonomy is a systematic way of describing how a learners understanding develops from simple to complex when learning different subject or tasks. the solo stands for: structure of observed learning outcomes.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
2. What is it?
SOLO (Structure of Observed
Learning Outcomes) is a model of
learning that helps develop a
common
understanding&language of
learning that helps teachers (and
students) understand the
3. What is it?
• In pairs arrange the five statements
about assessment for learning in order of
understanding
• use the SOLO levels sheet to help you.
• You have 3 minutes
4. 5 typical ways to answer a question

7. “SOLO Taxonomy provides a
simple and robust way of
describing how learning
outcomes grow in complexity
from surface to deep
understanding”
Biggs & Collis 1982
8. With SOLO we can…
• thoughtfully design learning intentions and
learning experiences
• identify and use effective success criteria
• provide feedback and feed forward on
learning outcomes
• reflect meaningfully on what to do next
9. Why?
• How should we show that
“progress” has been made in a
lesson (or 20 minutes of a
lesson)?
• Numbers? Letters?
10. The language of learning
SOLO level Verbs
Unistructural define, identify, name. draw, find, label, match,
follow a simple procedure
Multistuctural describe, list, outline, complete, continue,
combine
Relational sequence, classify, compare & contrast, explain
(cause & effect), analyse, form an analogy,
organise, distinguish, question, relate, apply
Extended generalise, predict, evaluate, reflect,
abstract hypothesise, theorise, create, prove, justify,
argue, compose, prioritise, design, construct,
perform
11. Isn’t this a bit like Bloom’s
Taxonomy?
• SOLO is based upon a theory about teaching
and learning rather than a theory about
knowledge, (Hattie and Brown, 2004)
• Bloom’s is ‘good’ for teachers: planning,
questioning & checking learning
• But not great for students:
I’ve done applying sir, can I move on to
analysis now?
• Progress is not implicit with Bloom’s
12. SOLO is better because:
• It’s a diagnostic tool – provides useful
feedback and makes next steps clear
• It’s a useful assessment tool – clear links with
rubrics
• It can help plan objectives & success criteria
which focus on progress
• It describes the learning outcome

14. Tips for getting started
• Getting to extended abstract requires you to
pose abstract questions:
Does Shakespeare influence all modern writers?
• But, in order to answer these questions
students need a big multistructural base of
knowledge
• Students need to see that progress depends
on finding the relationships between this
knowledge
15. Thinking Squares
Does Shakespeare influence all modern writers?
How does Shakespeare compare to a
modern playwright?
What did he do and why?
Who is
Shakespeare?
16. REVIEW

to your students
How could you use SOLO?

about SOLO?
