Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The teaching and learning approach encourages practice based and independent self centred learning. Participants will be encouraged to work together as this provides focus in the delivery of the theoretical concepts through the practical element at the end of the programme. Through a dialogue focusing on leadership and management styles, how theory relates to practice and in the development of their own understanding of this complex area, participants will synthesize relevant aspects of the module to deliver in a practical manner. Workshops, speakers, visits, activities and applied materials will be the central learning tools to encourage creative, reflective, active and practiced based learning. Theory will be developed through a wide range of key texts, journal articles, case studies, visits and on line resources enabling students to deepen their knowledge and understanding of destination leadership. Employability skills will be enhanced by the practical components of the module and the use of industry relevant examples and case studies. Interaction with industry will be developed in the form of expert led guest lectures, collaborative working and involvement with industry seminars. This will enable the participants to obtain a clear picture of working in the field and develop links with, and an understanding of destination leadership. Participants are required to research current issues related to destination development, management and leadership . Extensive use of academic readings, media articles, workshop debates, perspectives from guest speakers, learning journeys and visits to tourism operations, reflection on key topics, and discussions help participants further develop research skills. Participants will also have access to, and involvement with, up to date research and consultancy eminating from the Edinburgh Institute: Festival, Events and Tourisnm and the School of Marketing, Tourism and Languages.

All assessment work links to a practical focused report where the theoretical concepts are practiced through practical delivery of a Destination Development and Leadership project linked to a real life scenario facing destinations. The written group project is a 2,500 word report submitted at the end of the programme that encourages the analysis and synthesis of the theoretical concepts, strategy and the decision making process discussed in the programme. It is focused on the different leadership challenges faced in destination management. The second assessed element of the programme is a 20 minute group presentation to a panel of senior tourism industry representatives - participants will be observed and assessed on the strategic prespective adopted, persuasiveness of the case being made, innovation and creativity, understanding of the value of collaboration, and leadership capabilities in destination leadership against pre determined criteria.
