Abstract
Education is successful only when it balances both teaching design and the learning outcome. The role of an educational system is to empower students and make them life-long learners. There are various forms of innovative pedagogy to boost learner-centric teaching and learning in an educational system. This enables the students to become active learners in the classroom. The performance of a student in terms of learning outcome is required at the end of a course. This chapter will address various problems when using traditional teaching techniques in diverse learner environments and approaches to enable learner-centric teaching to reach the learning outcomes of a student.
