AbstractHigh impact learner engagement is supposed to improve student outcomes, but how do we know for sure that “engagement = learning”?
With the myriad of pedagogies and equally sophisticated range of assessment methods, teaching and learning in higher education is becoming very challenging when we are asked to prove and demonstrate the effectiveness of our high-impact learner engagement practices.
Let’s rethink, deliberate and share best practices in teaching and learning, assessments, and research in our respective fields that encourages learner engagement.
I will share some of my observations on the best practices in learner engagement and assessment from the recipients of the Malaysian National Academic Award for Teaching (Anugerah Akademik Negara).
Taking lessons from design thinking, educators in higher education can explore strategies for learner-centred pedagogies and assessments.
Design Thinking – Ideation Model
Collaborative Learning Laboratory

Design thinking (DT) is a user-centered design process.
A sustained learning on-the-go laboratory based on Stanford’s Design Thinking Ideation Model.
Design Thinking and Engagement
� The DT process first defines the problem and then implements the solutions, always with the needs of the user demographic at the core of concept development.
� This process focuses on need-finding, creating, thinking and doing by engaging the learners.
� At the core of this process is a bias towards action and creation: by creating and testing something, you can continue to learn and improve on your initial ideas.
Applying DT in HE T&L(Evidence from AAN winners)
EMPATHY
Focus on students learning
e.g. Student Centred Learning
Active Learning
DEFINE
Connect students to real world
issues
e.g. Case Studies
Focus Group Discussion
IDEATE
Brainstorm based on prior
knowledge and experiences
e.g. Problem Based Learning
PROTOTYPE
Apply solution
e.g. Problem Based Learning
Blended learning
TEST
Implement, evaluate, and
reflect on action
e.g. Practicum

the experiences of the user for whom you are designing.
� Do this through observation, interaction, and immersing yourself in their experiences.
� How can you/your students empathize?
� How do you measure empathy?

� How would you facilitate this in your class?
� How do you assess the process in designing?
Ideate� Explore a wide variety of

� How would you facilitate brainstorming with your students?
� How do you assess the quality of the idea/ process?
Prototype� Transform your ideas
into a physical form so that you can experience and interact with them, and in the process, learn and develop more empathy.
� How would you materialize the idea?
� How do you assess (criteria) the prototype?
