 Methods of Delivery

Hence,
• We are now moving from the traditional
topic-based teaching to outcome-based
education

CT043-3-1 – Introduction to Networking Introduction and Overview Slide 11 of 20

 Outcomes Based Education (OBE)

• OBE is education based on producing

educational outcomes that:
Focus on what students can actually do after
they are taught
Expect all learners / students to successfully
achieve (sometimes minimum) level of
knowledge and abilities.

 So…What is OBE?

It’s
NOT
What we want to teach,

It’s
What You should learn
