Oleh karena itu, dosen dihadapkan dengan tantangan merubah gaya mengajarnya untuk memenuhi kebutuhan milenial di dalam kelas.  Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisa gaya komunikasi dalam pengajaran dosen menggunakan model kolaborasi yang dinilai berdasarkan pesepektif para mahasiswa milenial.  Universitas Telkom dipilih sebagai lokasi penelitian atas dasar prestasinya sebagai predikat kampus swasta terbaik di Indonesia yang memperoleh pengakuan akreditasi internasional bergengsi.  Para informan yang berpartisipasi adalah 30 mahasiswa kelas internasional berusia 18-19 tahun pada semester pertama. Penulis melakukan diskusi terumpun yang direkam melalui online zoom. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa gaya pembelajar milenial menginginkan pengalaman intelektual, pengalaman emosional dan pengalaman teknologi melalui gaya belajar kolaboratif dalam aktivitas pembelajaran mereka. Selain itu, mereka menyenangi dosen yang melakukan gaya komunikasi mengajar dengan penuh humor, interaktif, menggunakan aplikasi video dan mampu memahami minat mereka. Dengan menerapkan 3 pengalaman belajar milenial melalui model kolaborasi dan gaya komunikasi dosen mengajar tersebut akan meningkatkan partisipasi aktif pembelajar milenial.
