Abstract

In higher education, there are many taxonomies or classifications. It needs more time and much resources to cover it. This paper trying to cover some taxonomies in higher education to make standardization. The taxonomy of Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome including first, second, third, third, fourth and fifth SOLO have been discussed. Furthermore, decision making in higher education is an important concern while the processes of decision-making involvement have been defined in six steps. In addition, the value chain, inbound logistics and operations of higher education has been discussed in detail along with integration in higher education. Quality assurance in higher education is examined. Additionally, open educational practices and reform in high education are considered. Besides, environment of learning and Decision Support Systems have also been depictured, along with data used in higher education. Taxonomy of cognitive domain is also analyzed as one of the fundamental taxonomies in higher education. Since important for modern world, instructional technology is described. Knowledge acquisition was also part of this paper.
