How iCloudEMS can be a key enabler to promote OBE in Higher Education Institutes

In today’s fast-paced world, the outcome of learning is assessed according to the comprehensive development of an individual. Thus, to address the worldwide needs of 21st-century society, tertiary education must educate graduates with professional knowledge/skills and all-around qualities. 

Nowadays, various countries’ higher education institutes emphasize continuous quality improvement by reforming their curriculum, planning, and assessing learning outcomes at all levels. The accomplishment of outcomes is believed to be analyzed using evidence of learning to ensure learning outcomes are met.

Outcome-based education (OBE) is a student-centric educational paradigm that directs each level of learning on the accomplishment of learning outcomes. OBE emphasizes professional knowledge, skills, talents, values, and attitudes over the educational process. 

OBE is a student-centered strategy that fosters hands-on learning opportunities to improve the information, skills, and personality qualities that students acquire at the conclusion of a program or course. Curriculum, pedagogy, and evaluation procedures are completely focused on expected goals to be accomplished by students after completion of their course or program. 

Students assume more responsibility for their educational pursuits under OBE implementation and can work more actively in line with their learning trajectory. Teachers also get feedback on the effectiveness of the teaching and learning strategies they use in the classroom via outcome-based assessment.

The teaching methods used in the OBE paradigm are tailored to each student’s unique requirements and are mandated to use active pedagogical techniques to empower real-world, technology-driven, field-based abilities that may illustrate the relationship between theory and its applications.

The assessment techniques include practical assessment techniques such as open book assessments, assignments, project demonstrations, and others that may demonstrate how well objectives have been reached and, ultimately skill set and values in learners.
