Hospitality 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]

This book offers insights into the demands made on staff in service encounters in tourism, events and hospitality roles. Using data from research completed in these industries, it hinges upon storied incidents offered by workers about which the reader can reflect and apply theoretical knowledge. A key feature of this volume is that it focuses on staff perspectives and perceptions of service encounters and delivery rather than on customer or management perspectives. This will provide students, lecturers, management and customers with fresh and clear understandings of the demands made on staff, but also the perspectives from which the demands are seen. The chapters clarify to students how to apply academic knowledge within customer service contexts and include learning objectives, questions and summaries.
