DOWNLOAD EBOOKHospitality fieldwork offers student-centred experiential learning and an opportunity to establish authentic connections between theory and practice. Ongoing reductions in the funding of universities and increasing student numbers have led to technology-enhanced solutions to provide practice-based learning experiences in hospitality management education. Virtual field trips (VFTs) are an alternative and flexible means for students to connect their classroom learning with authentic activities and assessment via structured experiences in participating hospitality businesses. In 2013, Griffith University provided seed funding to develop and trial VFTs of two hotels in Queensland. The VFTs were implemented in a core course within the Bachelor of International Tourism and Hotel Management. The course content and assessment were integrated and constructively aligned with the VFTs (Biggs, 2003) and evaluated for effectiveness using mixed methodologies. Students found the VFTs to be highly effective in reinforcing the course content and adding to their learning experience. They also found the VFTs to be relevant and useful in informing their assessment tasks. [Executive summary, ed]

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explores stakeholders’ perspectives, their practices, and engagement with enacting the employability agenda in the context of a rapidly changing world. It explains the need for developing graduate employability under socioeconomic, cultural, and political pressure exposed to the higher education sector. Largely framed within Bourdieu’s concepts of social field, habitus, and capital, it explores international stakeholders’ perspectives and experiences with graduate employability agenda in different contexts, which serves as a point of reference for the adoption of such initiatives. Based on empirical evidence, the authors develop a new graduate employability framework seeing it as a lifelong process, denote the relationships between types of employability capital, and shed light on the consequences of different strategies to translate employability capital to employment and career outcomes. Overall, this book generates both theoretical and practical insights which help to advance employability programs, better prepare the future workforce, and anticipate turbulence in the labour markets.
