Take your students on a fun, realistic tour of hospitality

Hospitality and Tourism Interactive

Within MyLab Hospitality is HTI: an innovative, interactive application that allows students to explore the exciting world of the hospitality industry in a simulated environment. Through activity-based learning, students can gain practical experience in developing customer service, service quality, and leadership skills.

HTI is set in the virtual world of Little Wolfe Island, which features icons/areas for exploration that represent the various sectors/components/categories of the hospitality industry, such as lodging, food service, etc. Students will meet characters (avatars) who will share information about their job and their career and give activities to complete. Upon completion of the activities, students are given a score that represents their knowledge of that particular learning objective. Students progress through the characters in each learning module and are rewarded by unlocking new characters and activities.

Accompanying multiple-choice questions are easy to assign, automatically feed to the gradebook, and help you track student mastery of learning goals.

Improve critical-thinking skills

Case Studies in Hospitality

MyLab Hospitality features authentic, industry-based cases. Now assignable, each case is accompanied by questions to spur critical thinking. Assign these to students to complete before coming to class for a grade, or to prepare for a deeper and more meaningful class discussion. Suggested answers for each case are available to instructors to support grading and classroom discussion.

Robust gradebook tracking

The Gradebook offers an easy way for you and your students to see their performance in your course. Item Analysis lets you quickly see trends by analyzing details like the number of students who answered correctly/incorrectly, time on task, and more.

MyLab enables you to manage multiple class sections, and lets other instructors copy your settings so a standardized syllabus can be maintained across your department.
