Towards outcome based learning: An engineering education case

Abstract

Following the European initiatives like European Qualification Framework (EQF), Europass [4] and European Learner Mobility [3], the aim of this paper is to introduce specifications, services and applications that enable the management and use of learning outcome information. We present pilot implementation and validation of the adoption of standards and specifications related to outcome based learning. Prototypes are developed as widgets and modules of Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Moodle, to produce and import data about intended learning outcomes of learning opportunities and achieved learning outcomes of learners. We demonstrate an outcome based Engineering Education use case.
