One of the crucial parts of OBE is measuring the quality and quantity of Program learning skills that student has acquired through various assessments. Course Outcome attainment heads up the learning in a specific course. However, the Program Outcome (PO) attainment needs the relation of Course Outcome & Program Outcome (CO-PO), i.e., mapping levels for calculations. The author has demonstrated the CO-PO mapping level underpinning the competency and Performance Indicators. The methodology for CO-PO Mapping has been shown in the Paper. A review on Mapping has been taken on an online feedback survey and found that mentoring is required in the CO-PO mapping level and interpreting it at hard-shell. CO-PO Mapping for a course has been demonstrated w.r.t. the process followed, and calculations to the end have been explained. There is an opportunity to take PO assessment methods further with mapping levels concentrating on defining competencies and Performance Indicators.

The authors sampled 211 engineering students and 16 faculty members from the department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering using online survey forms. The author highlighted the requirements of online teaching-learning, the implementation methodology, online platforms, sample ICT tools and active learning tools used for the delivery of contents and conducting examinations. From the feedback of students and faculties members, it was found out that availability of resources, institute support, skill development and engagement have significant contribution to the adaptability of faculties and students to online teaching-learning. The pandemic situation has enhanced the adaptability of online teaching-learning during the COVID19 pandemic and also students and faculties are ready if any other similar man-made or natural disruptions occur.

Universities around the world imported lessons to their student mostly in online mode in 2020 and 2021. Thirty-five undergraduate computer science students were interviewed about their experience of attending online lectures during the COVID-19 pandemic. A quantitative analysis of their responses revealed that 43% of them felt that they can learn equally well from online and offline lectures, 49% felt that online lectures provide them flexibility which in turn helps them to perform better in academics and 54% felt that professors have improved their online teaching skills since the beginning of the pandemic. Further, a qualitative analysis revealed that students appreciate online lectures for allowing them to access ebooks and digital resources while attending lectures, and making it easier to study topics that require a lot of visualization and ask queries to professors. Consequently, 77% students said that a combination of online and offline lectures may be used in the future with students being allowed to choose how they learn. Alternatively, only online lectures may be scheduled on some days of the week so that students need not travel to the campus on those days.

This paper proposes the unique Instructional Design model by organizing Solo, Team activities with Assessment and Reflection for improving the Skills (STARS) of students. The STARS model consists of questionnaire with 18 questions on design thinking skills, 8 on personal skills, 6 on interpersonal skills, and 5 on communication skills. Data is collected from each student after each assessment. The survey responses are analyzed and the attainment of skills are assessed using the Priority Need Index (PNI) method. It helps the instructor to focus more on specific skills in the forthcoming reviews. The experimental results proved that the proposed STARS model improves the skills of engineering students.

A paradigm shift in the pedagogies has been experienced by the teachers to fulfilling the academic demands by the international learners. Though the teaching-learning processes have become more effective, versatile and technology driven due to the learners’ diversity, it may be important to understand the challenges, barriers and psychological reflections by the teachers in facing these transformations. The article analyses the reflections by the teachers on the catering to the student’s diversity. Total of sixty one teachers from different engineering streams participated in the survey. The data were collected anonymously. A metaanalysis has been carried out to obtain the similarities and differences of reflections on various hypotheses. All the important attributes of academics namely pedagogic, assessment, method of instructions, cultural integration of students in a common task, and overall influence of the diversity on the teaching-learning processes have been discussed. The study revealed that the teachers had to accommodate the diversity in their concurrent pedagogic and students had to develop new learning styles. The teachers have shown agreement on most of the hypothesis mentioned in the questionnaire; however it was found that catering the students’ diversity in the class room is the function of the interpersonal skills, academic experience and ability to communicate effectively with the diversified learners. The results established that the teachers will have to accommodate the learner’s diversity by a continuous up gradation and by embracing the new ways of pedagogical practices. The study inspired the authors to propose a model for effective pedagogy in the diversified class rooms and has been presented for the futuristic discussion by the readers and academicians.

The primary goal of this undertaking is to maximize the student learning. The conventional teaching-learning environment induces monotonicity due to repetitive nature of teaching and absence of activities which does not provide much beneficial effects on increasing students’ levels of knowledge. The activity-based teaching-learning circumvents the shortcomings of the conventional approach in transmission of educational content. In this paper, various modes of progressive pedagogy to increase the student participation in active learning are explored. Activity based teaching-learning is anything related to course in which all the students in a class to participate actively rather than to simply sit, watch, listen and take notes. This paper explains various activities developed and practiced in order to accomplish the goal. The activities described in this paper were implemented with the students majoring in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) in their sixth semester mandatory course called \"Embedded Systems\". After examining the efficacy of the activities it was observed that the recommended strategy of active learning offers additional possibilities to learn outside of the traditional classroom setting. The performance of the Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) serves as the metric for determining the effectiveness of these activities.
