Students are educated with the introduction of technology and specific classrooms settings to enhance learning, but this may be at the cost of creativity as students still prefer traditional teaching styles.

He also suggested that making courses really relevant and having students work collaboratively on real-life problems would help students to better understand real-life needs.
