1.2 Learning Outcome Based Education and Assessment

Learning Outcome Based Education (LOBE) advocates the importance of establishing a “clear
picture of what is important for students to be able to do, organizing the curriculum, instruction,
and assessment to make sure that learning ultimately happens.” Important action points under the
LOBE approach include:

l Define exit outcomes through active participation of all stakeholder groups
l Redefine performance and standards to provide regular reports on actual student learning
levels in all key outcome areas
l Redesign of future-focused curriculum, with a problem and issue-based content focus and
continuous development of student abilities alongwith all major competence dimensions
l Develop “high engagement/high activity” classrooms staffed by a variety of internal and
external experts with continuous emphasis on multimodality active learning by individuals
and learning teams.
l Encourage learning by performing in authentic and real-world settings and promote extensive
use of high technology tools and applications
