 Methods of Delivery

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

 Outcomes Based Education (OBE)

• OBE is education based on producing

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