We enhanced the learning management system with interactive recipe calculators, video playback controls for detailed technique review, and progress tracking tools. Students can now bookmark specific techniques, assemble personal recipe collections, and access supplementary reading materials directly within their course modules.

Practical Assessment Methodology

We adopted a more comprehensive evaluation framework that measures technical ability as well as creative application.
