This course will equip all teachers, professionals
and aspiring teachers to understand the principles of Outcome-Based Education
(OBE) for development of Outcome-Based Curriculum (OBC). This course focusses
on the four distinct major components of the OBCD i.e., Curriculum Planning,
Curriculum Designing, Curriculum Implementation and Curriculum Evaluation. The
understanding of these four components elaborately discussed in this course
with relevant examples, will automatically help you to also comprehend the
basic features of Outcome-Based Teaching-Learning (OBTL) and how to undertake
Outcome-Based Assessment (OBA) in various situations such as classroom,
laboratory, field and industry, which is the litmus test for the success of
OBE.
