Methods of Delivery
Hence,
• We are now moving from the traditional
topic based teaching to outcome-based
education
CT090-3-2-MWT Mobile and Wireless Technology Module Introduction Slide <11> of 20
Outcomes Based Education (OBE)
• OBE is education based on producing
particular educational outcomes that:
Focus on what students can actually do after
they are taught
Expect all learners / students to successfully
achieve particular (sometimes minimum) level
of knowledge and abilities.
