In the fast-moving world of technology, online interaction and good content production are essential, especially for involving NextGen learners. This research focuses on the incorporation of Bloom’s Taxonomy, an established system for educational purposes. This study is a cross-sectional survey involving quantitative data from a statistically evaluated questionnaire. This comparative study includes a “The Art of Learning” survey for NextGen Learners, focusing on Gen Z and Alpha learners. The total sample size included in this study was 290, which included 230 responses gathered from the students of Primary and Secondary schools, Tertiary and Post graduate level from different regions, including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah. Similarly, 60 responses were collected from the teachers through Google Forms and emailed to the respondents. The teachers were employed in primary, secondary school, tertiary, and post-graduate levels in the mentioned regions. Teachers considered multimedia presentations and online interactive sessions as beneficial ways of learning. Students’ responses were inclined toward various social media platforms. Teachers preferred educational images and icons in their presentations to make the topic understandable. Students also preferred colorful graphics and picture with high quality to learn and enjoy at the same time. Moreover, both teachers and students agreed on the influence of technology on the educational system. This cross-sectional survey highlights the visual graphics. By incorporating Bloom’s Taxonomy, teachers and designers can design innovative and engaging learning programs.
