- Practices for online teaching and learning: a view from the hospitality fieldPublication . Pataco, Teresa; Oliveira, MónicaConsidering the issues triggered by COVID-19, remote learning was the only safe method to guarantee students could learn. The way instructors delivered information and interacted with students changed dramatically during COVID-19. Through the stress, pressure, and the emergency changes, professors had to choose the tools needed to provide the best teaching possible. It was necessary to create envi- ronments for the students to learn, to practice, and to apply the skills acquired. It was also necessary to entice some socialization during classes. Online classes require more autonomy, and if on the one hand students can learn on their own provided professors hand out some material, on the other hand it is difficult to control how their skills and knowledge evolve. The authors detail the methods used in their online classes (asynchronous or synchronous), the main concerns both instructors and students had, as well as the solutions found to meet those concerns as successfully as possible and to scaffold the learning process of their students at the School of Hospitality and Tourism of the Polytechnic of Porto.
- Fostering pedagogical innovation in tourism education through experiential learning: an interdisciplinary toolkitPublication . Vasconcelos, Sandra; Melo, Carla; Melo, AntónioDue to its service-oriented nature, Tourism and Hospitality Education relies heavily on experimental learning (EL) approaches, that focus on real-word challenges and can replicate future professional settings. In addition to simulation, project-based learning, fieldtrips and role-play, educators are looking for alternative and innovative strategies to enhance students' learning experiences and support the development of technical and high-level skills. Recognizing the importance of EL, and aiming to contribute towards its development, and support practitioners working in Tourism Higher Education, this chapter focuses on the development of a toolkit that supports activities within this scope. Drawing from a literature and best practice review and their experience, the authors expand on Kolb's experiential learning cycle's model to frame the toolkit's principles and key concepts and describe its creation process, the target audience, and overall sections, that will include different tourism and hospitality subsectors, offering a provisional glimpse of the artefact being created.
