Meaningful learning through technology enhanced learning environments can aid the learners to improve their adaptability skills and succeed in real life situations. This paper emphasizing the importance of constructivist learning platforms will focus on good practices of Technology Enhanced Active Learning (TEAL) classrooms in higher education. Furthermore on the way of creating learner-centered learning environments, the challenges that will be faced by teachers, instructional designers, and educational administrators will be discussed and the new roles of the instructors will be elaborated.
