Improving Attainment of Graduate Attributes using Google Classroom

Abstract

Outcome Based Education (OBE) has become world wide standard in the current education system. OBE provides a clear and unambiguous framework for curriculum planning. It stresses on the end product- what graduate can do after completing course rather than on the educational process. Graduate Attributes can be defined as qualities, attitudes and dispositions that graduates should possess in full or part,when they have completed their course of study. OBE is measured by assessing the attainment of Graduate Attributes. This paper presents a case study of a course using Google Classroom and compared with two other courses being taught that do not use Google Classroom in terms of attainment of Graduate Attributes.
