Abstract

Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is the most prominent method for teachers to improve student learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, however, achieving OBE in an online learning environment is a challenging task for teachers. In India, the ability to implement OBE with limited online resources

Highlights

Popular online learning platforms (Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom, and Zoom) for computer science engineering [1] and normal degree undergraduate (UG) students are a beneficial tool, but KG and school students feeling difficulty for accessing the online resources [2]
It described the online T-L platform achieved through the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) had been proved on MATLAB software, the Course Outcomes (CO) and the Program Outcomes (PO) attainment through integrated OBE software
We implemented OBE through T-L process through online learning in.integrated OBE (iOBE) 5.2 software on MATLAB 2016b [18], it defines the course objectives, course outcome and program goals of the course, input submitted to the excel file, it contains the learner information and mapping the course outcomes to program goals [51]

Summary

Introduction

Popular online learning platforms (Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom, and Zoom) for computer science engineering [1] and normal degree undergraduate (UG) students are a beneficial tool, but KG and school students feeling difficulty for accessing the online resources [2]. Online teaching is slowly gaining popularity due to its design, visuals, and quality of platform it establishes between the student and teachers. T-L tools helps computer science students to understand concepts and boost collaboration between in student-teacher interactions. The curriculum for students needs to change during the COVID-19 pandemic, the quality of curriculum required to match and easy way of explain the teachers by using online resources [5]. While different professors have different teaching styles, online learning is consistent and standardized for students, so a student can look through many different professors on YouTube to help them learn a concept[7]. The huge number of options for students to grasp the concepts of online course providers with paid or free basis such as NPTEL, edX, Udacity, Berkely, Coursera, Udemy, Alison, Oracle Academy, and Microsoft [8]
