Abstract : Learning is a holistic process that involves several key components based on two-way interaction and transfer of knowledge between the learner and surroundings. Given the developments in technology and pandemic situation, finding the right mix of traditional and new learning styles is paramount. Traditional teaching and learning process have failed to create the necessary connect among the millennial learners. Therefore, a judicial use of traditional teaching techniques with the relevant technology will make for an effective tool in converting the millennial student into an active learner. Active learning approach is the first step in making learning an organic process. This approach will not only foster exchange of ideas among peers through discussions, case studies and role plays, but also cater to individual learning styles. The outcome of employing such an approach will promote higher order thinking skills, engaging in deep learning, and facilitate better transfer of knowledge. As there is no standard protocol to follow in technical higher education teaching, this concept paper is the first step in incorporating learner centric teaching that can bring better congruity and consistency in specific higher education fields.
