    Engaging students in the classroom have become more crucial in education as the attention span of students remain the same despite the increase in learning hours. Many studies have been done on this especially at the primary and secondary level. However, there are less studies being done at the tertiary level of education. With the advancement of technology and the recent increase in distance learning and on-line learning, the number of hours dedicated to face-to-face teaching has been reduced. This means that learners have to absorb the same amount of knowledge in lesser number of hours. This study is a conceptual paper based on a literature review which focuses on how academicians can engage learners through various creative and innovative solutions. It identifies the challenges faced by academicians in teaching adult learners and explores avenues that can be pursued to engage these learners. At the end of the paper, strategies that have been successfully implemented in OUM Business School are documented as a basis for future research efforts. It was concluded that all tutors and facilitators should be committed to the development of innovation and creativity in the learning environment in order to engage learners in the classroom. This would ensure that quality in teaching and learning is achieved.

    THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM – A CASE IN OUM BUSINESS SCHOOL
    (Conference On Professional Development In Education (PDE2014), Widyatama University Indonesia, Open University Indonesia and Open University Malaysia, 2014-06-11) Zakariah, Zulhairi; Khuzaimah, Ratna; Mohamad, Liana; Mohamad, Wardah
    The flipped classroom is a strategic direction for a new learning and teaching environment. It is a teaching method where traditional lectures and homework are reversed. This method provides online pre-recorded lectures and exercises in class and has been widely practiced. The flipped classroom provides benefits to the learners in an active learning environment. It provides more responsibility to the learners in the learning process instead of lecturers. The flipped classroom improves the instructional delivery and enhances student performance where the learners are not only passively receiving one-dimensional information. The number of educational institutions using this flipped model in their courses is growing including OUM.
