# SOLO Taxonomy Source Card SOLO Taxonomy describes levels of understanding. Use it to check whether a lesson asks learners to list disconnected ideas or integrate and transfer them. | SOLO Level | Description | Lesson-design warning | | --- | --- | --- | | Prestructural | No relevant connection yet | Build prior knowledge before expecting performance. | | Unistructural | One relevant idea | Useful for initial acquisition, but too thin for final evidence. | | Multistructural | Several ideas listed but not connected | Common AI default: lots of bullets, little integration. | | Relational | Ideas connected into a coherent whole | Strong target for deep learning. | | Extended Abstract | Ideas applied to new contexts | Strong target for transfer. | ## Audit move Ask: **What SOLO level does each activity target?** If the draft stays at multistructural, revise the prompt and require relational or extended-abstract work.
