Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOs Group discussion, working in groups is used during lectures and tutorials to engage students with the study area. A number of activities are undertaken during tutorial times to support student learning that enhance presentation, critical reflection.Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skills Critical appraisal and reflection are required throughout the tutorial sessions. The students also need to evaluate and justify the choice of the materials for the construction of their proposed tour. Written skills are also enhanced through the formative assessmentAssessment (formative and summative) Learning outcomes 1-3 & 6 are assessed by an end of module short-answer exam which will assess students' comprehension of the fundamental differences between operators, the structure of the travel industry and the impact of technology. LOs 4 & 5 are assessed by an exercise which requires students to organise and cost an inclusive tour. Students will be encouraged to submit drafts of this for formative feedback.Research/ teaching linkages The teaching team conducts research in the area of travel industry and the international environment for tourism. As part of the assessment the students will have to undertake research and produce an original special interest tour. In order to put together the tour, they will have to locate and assess tourism intelligence data and statistics to illustrate the demand for their chosen product.Supporting equality and diversity All materials are available on WebCT and are formed following the Napier Universities guidelines for preparing materials. A mix of teaching and learning methods and media are used throughout the class to support different learning styles.
