Prof. Rosella Moya-Torrecampo facilitated both runs of the interactive workshop.  Day 1 covered clarifying gaps in OBE Understanding, a refresher on OBE’s basic precepts on program design, and latest developments and issues in curriculum design. Day 2 covered reviewing and aligning Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) and Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs). Day 3 covered aligning CLOs with Learning Level Outcomes (LLOs), Teaching and Learning Activities (TLAs), and Student Achievement Profiles (SAPs) in the context of Teaching and Learning Environment (TLE). Participants were given homework such as undertaking various analyses and an OCAI (organizational culture assessment instrument) study, answering learner-type tests and drawing insights, and drafting lesson plans. Each day was filled with activities and icebreakers that supplemented and enhanced the learning experience.

Clockwise: Chancellor Edgardo Carlo Vistan, AVP Alyssa Peleo-Alampay, Director Aura Matias, and Dr. Nina Cadiz delivered their messages during the closing session in UP Diliman.

At the end of Day 3, participants presented their outputs – learning assessments of a program, course, or lesson aligned with CLOs, PLOs, and Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILOs). The workshops were closed by syntheses of main takeaways – the 1st run by UP Diliman Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Prof. Maria Vanessa Lusung-Oyzon and the 2nd run by Director Suan.
