Masterful professors not only grow in knowledge of their discipline, they also grow in sharpening their teaching skill. This article examines effective teaching and learning in the higher education context. More specifically, it looks at how effective pedagogy aims to see the student fully engaged in the learning process. It explores what it means to engage the college student in learning, why it is important, and several strategies to facilitate engagement in learning. Really, in its simplest form, it is all about who gets to chew the cracker!

Blended learning enhances education and offers effective teaching and learning. Its success is well-documented, as well as the criticism regarding quality assurance in blended learning. Quality assurance (QA) is an invaluable aspect of teaching and learning and has a rightful position in higher education. QA strives to ensure a standard of teaching and learning which is relevant, effective, and resourceful, and it occurs within an established framework. Research suggests that the implementation of an effective QA framework is a complex matter, with great emphasis on context. Such a framework contains various elements which are often denoted by benchmarking. This chapter highlights the implementation of sustainable and effective policies at an institutional level as one such element. Meaningful collaboration between institutions will lead to greater success in the implementation of an effective QA framework. Institutions in underprivileged communities find this implementation challenging, but there are some encouraging examples of success and progress.
