OBA @ CUHK

As a response to the initiative of the University Grants Committee (UGC) in promoting outcomes-based approaches (OBA) to teaching and learning, a revised OBA plan for the University has been formulated. It was submitted to the UGC in April 2007, and was noted by the Senate Committee on Teaching and Learning (SCTL) at its meeting on 20 June 2007. According to the plan, the seven Faculties, School of Law and General Education are to develop their own OBA ‘roadmaps’ to specify the strategies and timeline for implementing the approach. The strategies will be implemented in the following years in stages.

For more examples of how the outcomes-based approaches are applied in eLearning, please visit our OBeL@CU website here.
