ASSURANCE OF LEARNING
The CLCI Assurance of Learning (AOL) team spearheaded the development of the AOL framework and learning goals that provided the foundation for the Nanyang Business School’s assessment and improvement of its curriculum. Rigor and relevance were vital considerations in identifying learning goals. To ensure rigor, the AOL team reviewed the latest research on leadership and leveraged on its in-depth research expertise on cultural intelligence and leadership to identify key leadership skills. For relevance, the AOL team leveraged on their research collaborations and interactions with industry leaders to identify knowledge, skills and abilities required for effective performance and leadership, given the nature of work today.
