In reading an article from EducationSector - Measuring Skills for the 21st Century I discovered that former colleagues of B. Bloom's had proposed a revised taxonomy for learning. Their work was published in the book a Taxonomy for Learning, Teaching and Assessing.
Although the idea of levels remains the same, how they are presented and worded has changed. A quick visual here might help.
What was also interesting to note is that the article, and I think good practice suggests that students do not need to learn in 'order' of the levels, but rather the levels should be integrated to provide richer learning experiences for students and to engage them as thinkers.
