The current article contributes to student engagement literature in higher education in line with the paradigm shift taking place in college teaching in India. The aim of this article supports that the collaborative approach does lead to active student engagement. The findings reflect the success of this Mumbai college in ensuring that each student participates in an active learning experience. This had clearly produced a level of engagement that other forms of learning cannot. As this study shows, in the Indian context, the collaborative approach turns out to a great answer to the present theoretical method of teaching and learning.

Decolonizing higher education in Africa, a process inclusive of indigenous literacy, is an emancipatory transformative concept that is largely grounded on critical theory, critical theory of education, dependency theory, and Afrikology epistemology. The four theoretical perspectives espouse emancipation, transformation, liberation, empowerment, inclusivity, equality, co-existence and social justice, and, to some degree, are rooted in neo-Marxist radical paradigms and can be used as the theoretical lens for analyzing decolonization and indigenization.

The goal of this chapter is to discuss the importance of advisor-student engagement as a critical component of student success. Much has been written about advising undergraduate students and strategies for working with first generation students and other challenges specific to undergraduate students, and this chapter will focus on working with online graduate students. Heisserer and Parette noted that contact with a significant person within an institution of higher education is a crucial factor in a student's decision to remain in college. The focus on this chapter is on how advisors can be the significant person within the institution for their graduate students, and how advisors can help students successfully integrate into the institution academically and socially to increase their likelihood of retention and success.
