Dear Dr Shah,
In my experience, as teaching assistant, it is always good to push students to work in group on some concrete example from practice. This can be planning and implementing case study on some IS they are aware of or imaginary one.
Hope this will help you.
Engaging students in purposeful educational activities and making the lesson appealing for the students need proper planning and a better understanding of the different theories of learning. I did apply cooperative learning in a couple of undergraduate classes in the Sports Science and Psychology departments.
Here you have the title and the weblink for the published paper.

Hope this helps
The Journal of Problem Based learning in higher education might provide some good guidance. PBL is one of many active learning strategies that can be applied to a wide variety of disciplinary contexts.

Hello Dr. Shah,
May I recommend Discovery Teaching - discoveryteaching.com (formerly TeachBack - appears in several publications). A web-based application designed to facilitate interactive teaching and learning in the higher education classroom. It offers tools for exchanging cognitive and affective feedback between students and the instructor, formative (diagnostic) assessments, collaborative learning activities, supervised discussion and question forums for increased assistance and urgency for learners, sharing and tracking of learning objectives, and teaching and learning analytics in order to inform on the learning and teaching processes, evidence-based decision-making and timely tracking of learners at risk with appropriate interventions.
Can I suggest using social media as its the second language of digital natives. Here's a recent journal article on how it was successfully used to boost student engagement.
Best regards,
Debra
