Many students and employees lack proficient computer skills. Teachers can help students build computer literacy by tailoring assignments to encourage students to use different applications, tools and resources. 

Learning is a lifelong process and is essential to be successful in a person's chosen career path. Learning should not only focus on the technical aspect of a profession, but on the continuing education as fields constantly evolve and new information is disseminated. 

People have different learning styles. Teachers can help students become proficient in writing, presenting and team work by providing a dynamic learning environment with opportunities to work on each.

Writing skills are important in any discipline. Providing positive feedback along with opportunities of improvement is key to student growth. 

Student driven case studies can be used to help build critical thinking skills.
