Educational technology in hospitality management programmes: experience and expectation

Abstract Higher education has emphasized the importance of educational technology in student learning and teaching. However, its successful implementation is determined by the user side – the students. This study examines the perception of students on the current educational technology being implemented in a hospitality management programme, their learning experience with this technology, and their projection of the latest technology adopted in the classroom setting. Data from a survey of hospitality management undergraduate students are collected and analysed, and the results indicate that hospitality management students have positive views on their learning experiences with the current educational technology adopted in the programme and they expect the latest technology in the classroom in the future.
