OBE = Mastery Learning

"...in the past decade, several states and districts have fostered major improvements in student learning through OBE in schools and subject areas of all kinds. Whether operating under the label of Mastery Learning, Outcome-Based Instruction, Outcomes-Driven Developmental Model, OBE, or something else, these efforts have attracted many educators and have validated all three philosophical premises."
