Outcomes-Based Education
Few educational concepts have sparked as much interest, enthusiasm, misunderstanding and controversy during the 1990s as Outcome Based Education (OBE).
OBE PARADIGM
WHAT and WHETHER students learn successfully is more important than WHEN and HOW they learn something.

Learning outcomes should pertain to what is or will become important for the departments students. Exemplary departments carefully determine their students needs and then work to meet those needs. They know that student learning, not teaching per se, is what ultimately matters.
Learning Objectives
What knowledge, skills, and values should students acquire from their educational experience? How will this experience pay off in employment, societal contributions, and quality of life? Are the objectives based on the needs of actual or potential students rather than some ideal students?

Challenges
The primary responsibility for achieving excellence lies with the colleges and universities themselves. Accrediting agencies play a significant role in advancing the assessment of learning outcomes and should set the highest possible standards.
Challenges
Scholarly and professional associations also have a responsibility, not only to encourage but insist on systematic and continuous improvement. Quality is a shared responsibility among various stakeholders but it is the institutions themselves that should take the lead.
