Decisive components in the teaching-learning process are the educators and the learners. The Minds-on*Hearts-on*Hands-on Engagements in three types namely: the cognitive, affective, behavior and motor engagements are featured and emphasized to manage a supportive research and educational sphere. Research and academic courses can better be appreciated if they co-exist with learner-centered philosophies of creative pedagogy, andragogy and heutagogy accentuated through globally accepted and implemented innovative techniques such as game-based, gamification, hybrid, immersive and adaptive learning mechanisms. Teaching is not about being fully engaged in talking as the traditional authoritarianism projects but it is about being creative in selecting options that should work for the learners’ benefits thus leading these learners to be innovative, self-directed and self-determined to acquire knowledge attitude and skills.
