Informational Website for Hospitality Management Learning Modules

Hospitality Management Learning Modules is a series of concise and self-contained modules written by experts in the hospitality industry. They are designed with both students and instructors in mind. These modules can be used as stand-alone documents or combined to form a custom instructional packet tailored to fit the unique needs of the instructor and course curriculum. Due to the consistent and streamlined format, most modules can be covered in one or two 90-minute class periods.

From the students’ perspective, modules are designed to be “straight to the point” while still providing a thorough explanation of key discipline and field-based competencies. The module project provides students the exact materials required for the course whilst cutting out the non-essential information that clutters expensive traditional textbooks. Due to the fact that each module contains the same pedagogical features, students know what to expect from the subsequent modules, making learning more efficient and productive.

For instructors, the modules’ tight presentation and flexible framework allow for a variety of teaching approaches and can be taught in the order the instructor deems most appropriate. Module content and applications are suitable for online courses; new classroom technology allows instructors to teach the information using tablet technology. With the module system, schools can reduce overlapping of topics and redundancy between courses. A robust instructor’s manual makes the collection a perfect choice for hospitality educators.
