Book excerpt: Engaging students in today's higher education classrooms, which range from online to live environments, requires innovative methods that can be adapted as needed. Known for its fresh approach to teaching working adults in a variety of modalities, City University of Seattle (CityU) serves as a guide to other colleges and university instructors on how to stay relevant as educators. Advances in Exemplary Instruction, the fourth book in the Proven Practices in Higher Education series, is a collection of strategies successfully used at CityU that can be incorporated into your course development and delivery or used as a reference from which you can craft your own unique methods. Each chapter is written by a different author or set of authors and addresses a teaching practice that has proven effective in the classroom. Organized into three sections, you will learn how to improve students' engagement in three key ways: student-to-content, student-to-student, and student-to-self. From tips on how to use video and social networking to increase student involvement to how visualization techniques can cultivate data literacy, this academic manual presents creative ideas-backed by research, theory, and real-life practice-that will boost your ability to be successful in whatever classroom environment you encounter.
