We have the pleasure to inform you that the International Network for Outcome Based Education (IN4OBE), Bangladesh Chapter at United International University (UIU) is going to organize an international webinar series virtually.
We are planning for a webinar series as per the following schedule:
Webinar 1: A Triad of OBE Pathways that Advance Human Evolution
Speaker: Prof. Dr. William Spady, Father of OBE & Founder of IN4OBE, USA
Abstract: OBE (Outcome Based Education) has been implemented universally and evolved significantly since the dawn of civilization – but only sporadically and inadequately in ‘modern’ education systems. They have increasingly focused intellectual learning but ignored learners’ deeper essence — assuming that the technological and material advancements that result from more education represent both human progress and evolution. Dr. Spady challenges this narrow view of learning and living by integrating transformative advances in OBE thinking and practice with equally revolutionary breakthroughs in theoretical physics that now validate Einstein’s Unified Field Theory and expand its implications. This powerful new work reveals: 1) the essence and unfolding of our conscious, creative universe; 2) how limited our prevalent views of human potential, empowerment, development, and evolution are; and 3) how three integrated OBE pathways address and redress these limitations.
Date: December 05, 2021
Day: Sunday
Starting Time: 7:00 PM (Bangladesh Standard Time)
Webinar 2: Quality and Accreditation or OBE, Which One?
Speaker: Dr. Wajid Hussain, Chief Operations Officer, IN4OBE, USA
Abstract: Many specializations in global higher education have recently adopted a rigorous policy towards implementing an Outcomes Based Education (OBE) model for student learning. This global shift in the last two decades has resulted in dramatic changes to the educational processes within programs in institutions. The apparent target is to achieve comprehensive benefits of OBE learning models. This presentation will highlight the difference between the paradigm, principles and philosophy of authentic OBE and prevalent accreditation approaches in higher education. The speaker will highlight the changes in accreditation approaches to align with OBE models and challenges faced by institutions in fulfilment of both accreditation requirements and essential principles of ‘Real’ OBE. Major stakeholders such as faculty, accreditation agencies, education leaders and policy makers shall understand the critical necessity of making on time, key decisions that support practical solutions for implementing ‘Real’ OBE to promote successful and holistic learning for all students.

Day: Saturday
Starting Time: 7:00 PM (Bangladesh Standard Time)
Webinar 3: Automation of Assessment and Evaluation
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Fong. K Mak, USA, CEO, IN4OBE
Abstract: Accreditation preparation is a paperwork nightmare if we cannot automate key preparation processes, particularly assessment and evaluation. This webinar focuses on how automation can be achieved starting from the Curriculum-Outcomes-Mapping matrix that indicates the adequateness and sufficiency of a program design. We look into two key assessment models: GR Assessment and FCAR assessment Models. We will elaborate on the FCAR assessment model that leads to data collection and compilation automation and align the FCAR assessment model to OBE. Next, at the program level, we will demonstrate how we best deal with the roll-up data in closing the loop for improvements. We ultimately address Criterion 1: student performance and progress must be evaluated and monitored to foster student outcomes. Once we understand the entire process, we will focus on constructing a well-form syllabus or course information, a vital element of the FCAR assessment model to get your assessment started.
Date: February 05, 2022
Day: Saturday
Starting Time: 7:00 PM (Bangladesh Standard Time)
Webinar 4: Change of mindset in teaching learning and assessment – traditional way vs. OBE way
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Hasan Sarwar, Dept. CSE, UIU
Abstract: Bangladesh is keen to implement OBE in the Academic domain. Faculty members and students are eager to implement such practices in the teaching and learning process. However, a deep dive into OBE understanding reveals that the conduct of teaching in the OBE way is different from our traditional way of teaching. In this talk, factors that make OBE teaching stand out from the traditional way will be discussed. The design of assessment methods will be discussed. The importance of maintaining alignment of assessment with outcome will be highlighted. This talk will try to focus on shifting the traditional mindset of teaching practices toward OBE way.
