She explained the systematic assessment mechanisms employed to measure outcomes and demonstrated how the OBE framework has been instrumental in achieving the university’s educational goals.
The session aimed to showcase the university’s implementation of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) in alignment with the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP) and the National Higher Education Qualifications Framework (NHEQF). It also sought to explore international perspectives on curriculum models and identify opportunities for further enhancement.
The session was further enriched by the guest speaker, Dr. Asier Altuna Garcia De Salazar, Associate Professor at the University of Deusto, Spain. He commended the University’s efforts in implementing OBE and shared his experiences with Competence-Based Education (CBE) at his institution. He provided a comparative analysis of the two models and suggested actionable improvements, including the incorporation of more specific and transparent course outcomes and marking criteria. Using examples from his university, he illustrated how competence-based learning fosters a student-centric approach, emphasizing the importance of aligning curriculum design with global educational standards.
The session facilitated a dynamic exchange among faculty members, who discussed the strengths of IIS University’s OBE model and identified areas for refinement. Dr. Altuna’s global perspective and practical recommendations inspired actionable ideas to further enhance the curriculum design and assessment strategies.
This session effectively highlighted IIS University’s accomplishments in implementing OBE while equipping faculty with valuable insights for continuous improvement.
