The Essence of OBE

In education, what matters ultimately is not
what is taught, but what is learned
Therefore, I (the teacher) would do well to set
the course objectives in terms of learning
outcomes
What I teach, how I teach and how I assess, are
aligned with the course learning outcomes
The quality of teaching is to be judged by the
quality of learning that takes place
