Outcome-Based Education designs teaching, assessment, and improvement around what students should know and be able to do.

Curriculum management governs how programs, courses, outcomes, prerequisites, syllabi, and changes are designed and approved.

Course files collect the evidence needed to understand course delivery, assessment, learning outcomes, and improvement.

Assessment design ensures that tests, projects, assignments, and rubrics measure intended learning outcomes fairly and consistently.

Rubrics define performance expectations and make assessment more transparent, consistent, and evidence-based.

Program review evaluates academic program quality, outcomes, demand, resources, curriculum, and improvement needs.

Course Learning Outcomes describe what students should know or be able to do by the end of a course.

Program Learning Outcomes describe the abilities graduates should demonstrate by completing an academic program.
