Modules

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, learning and teaching activities on campus as described in the module descriptors are currently restricted. Learning and teaching will be enabled through a mixture of scheduled online activity where you will be able to engage with your tutor and classmates in real-time and unscheduled guided activity where you will be required to complete activities and tasks at a time which best suits you. Teaching will take place on campus, wherever possible, and where this is safe to happen.

Definitive information on module delivery during 2020/21 will be provided on Module Moodle Sites. For specific enquiries please contact the module leaders directly.

Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:

LTA Approach
Reflective learning skills are facilitated through specialist area subject guest lectures, student presentation and case study visit.
Employability and PDP elements are embedded in the requirements of report and essay writing.

A series of lectures provide a framework of ideas and put across key information and issues appropriate to achieving the learning outcomes; a series of seminar/workshops to consolidate the knowledge base and learning systematically through the module programme. International case studies will be used as a basis for tutorials and as examples in lectures.

Self-managed reading and investigation around the syllabus: building up information, ideas and arguments on the various seminar topics covered, as well as reinforcing and extending the lecture/tutorial programme.

Assessment
A variety of assessment instruments are used to provide opportunites for differing learning styles. Students will compare 2 different countries' tourism from various aspects and submit a report covering outcomes 4 & 5. An individual essay that examines the impact of global issues on tourism development will cover outcomes 1 and 2.

Supporting equality and diversity
The learning materials used will be available on Moodle learning environment provided by Napier University to support the needs of many learning styles.

Internationalisation
This module allows students to compare aspects of the tourism industry in many countries. It is inherently international in nature. In addition, the students themselves come form a wide variety of countries and will be encouraged to contribute from their knowledge and personal experience of international tourism.
