The Aga Khan University Network of Quality Teaching and Learning (QTL_net) has launched its flagship workshop, Outcome-Based Education Curriculum Alignment and Mapping, known as OBE CAMP, marking a significant step to strengthen outcome-based education across the Pakistan campus.
The inaugural capacity-building workshop ran from 20–22 April 2026 and brought together members of the Curriculum Advisory Committee and programme representatives to re-examine programme and course learning outcomes through an outcome-based lens. Participants were selected to apply these approaches within their programmes with ongoing support from QTL.
Under the guidance of Vice Provost Jane Rarieya, the workshop was led by Dr Khairulnissa Ajani, Director Teaching and Learning (QTL), with her team and co-facilitation by Dr Mohamed Shahid Shamim, Associate Dean, Graduate Programme, Medical College. The sessions encouraged deep reflection on designing learning that produces measurable, real-world impact.
Attendees took part in hands-on, peer-led activities to align and map Programme Learning Outcomes, Course Learning Outcomes, assessments and instructional strategies. A prominent feature was the presentation of curriculum maps to a multidisciplinary audience, allowing participants to receive constructive, real-time feedback from peers and programme leaders.
The collaborative and iterative approach of OBE CAMP was widely appreciated, reinforcing a shared commitment to meaningful and demonstrable student learning. Following the success of this inaugural cohort, OBE CAMP will be rolled out more broadly across AKU, creating opportunities for more faculty to engage in curriculum mapping and faculty development as part of this transformative initiative.
