What do you think?

What do you think of our Bed and Breakfast model? As part of an assessment project Ciploma in International Tourism students completed this year "The Bent Trees" model was a highlight. We shall be putting it on the Wiki under Tourism Enterprises (under the new Diploma in Applied Travel and Tourism) as this aspect of the project will form part of the new assessment along with the other tourism business areas: marketing, financial control, operations management information and systems and human resources.

One of the comments from the last posting came from Wayne at Wikieducator who has asked if I can elaborate a bit more on our "good news" so that he can put a sentence or two on the wikieducatior newsletter. Here goes.....

The orgainsation funding is the second instalement for the project which began in 2007 and continued connfirmation of the commitment management have to progressing this innovative and unique product on wikieducator, according to Programme Manager Hillary Jenkins.

Our first group of students have finished for the year and while a few are graduating a good portion are returning for the second year of the diploma in 2008. Staff will be spending the next few weeks revising the programme which run this year making improvements and updates.
