In an outcome-based education, teaching learning methodology made students to learn the concepts and apply on real world scenario in developing a project. To enrich the project development skill of the students, a self-study component course was introduced in the curriculum named “Cloud Computing” for the under graduate students, where students learn the concept and strategies in cloud scenario and developed a project to solve some real-world challenges in cloud. Self-study component introduced in the cloud computing course helped the students to learn the CloudSim simulation tool and carry out the project on real world strategies in cloud. Even self-study component helped the faculties to review the students based on rubrics and evaluate. The self-study approach helped the students to solve the problems with project techniques than learning programming construct.
