Outcome based education performance measurement: A Rasch-based longitudinal assessment model to measure information management courses LO's

Malaysia Qualification Framework, 2005 (MQF) promotes outcome based education (OBE) learning process. OBE calls for the evaluation of the course’s Learning Outcomes (CLO) as specified in the Program Specification. This good practice is implemented in the Faculty of Information Technology and Quanti...
