TANGERANG – International University Liaison Indonesia (IULI) held an Outcome-Based Education (OBE) Curriculum Development Workshop and Training agenda on Wednesday (11/11/2026). Located at the IULI Campus, this strategic activity was attended directly by the rectorate, heads of study programs, and all course lecturers across IULI.

The presence of university leaders and lecturers across faculties reaffirms the institution's collective commitment in maturing the implementation of the OBE curriculum. This approach places student learning outcomes (student-centered learning) as the primary orientation, while aligning campus academic governance with the National Higher Education Standards (SN-Dikti) and international accreditation criteria.

During the technical material session, Dr. Abdi Dharma, S.Kom., M.Kom. as the speaker emphasized that modern curriculum design must stem from concrete career projections for students after graduating later.

"The main essence of implementing this OBE curriculum rests directly on the clarity of the graduate profile. From the beginning, we must concretely define: what do graduates from this study program want to become in the professional world? That way, the entire lecturing process and competency transfer that we design have a precise end goal and are relevant to students' future career demands," said Dr. Abdi in his presentation session.

Through a backward design approach, the curriculum design workflow was systematically broken down, including: Defining the Graduate Profile: Determining the roles, professions, and workplace skill standards targeted for graduates of each study program, Formulating CPL and CPMK: Translating the graduate profile into measurable Program Learning Outcomes (CPL) and Course Learning Outcomes (CPMK), Designing Portfolio-Based Assessments: Shifting conventional evaluations toward work-product assessments, the Case-Based Method, and Project-Based Learning, Developing Grading Rubrics: Preparing an objective, transparent, and standardized assessment criteria matrix.

Entering the afternoon session, all rectorate and lecturers participating in the workshop were divided into working groups according to their respective study programs to directly evaluate and revise curriculum documents. This hands-on agenda focused on synchronizing the CPL matrix with the Semester Learning Plan (RPS), structuring credit loads (SKS), and calibrating the grading weight of each assignment to align with the established graduate profiles.

Each study program presented the results of its draft RPS review for joint evaluation to ensure all lecture activities have measurable evaluation parameters.

As a follow-up, this training activity is designed as a sustainable program where every study program is scheduled to finalize complete curriculum documents along with the OBE assessment matrix before the new semester's academic calendar begins. These updated documents will become the standard benchmark in the lecturing process and academic quality evaluation at the International University Liaison Indonesia.
