Hybrid Teaching and Learning at ICMS
The introduction of the ‘Hybrid Teaching and Learning’ delivery mode takes the ICMS study experience to a new level of flexibility.
Hybrid teaching provides ICMS students with flexible learning opportunities and access to equivalent learning experiences, whether in-person, or online (synchronously or asynchronously) attendance.
There are benefits to each mode of delivery. Face-to-face learning provides immediate access to teachers and direct communications with other fellow students in the on campus venue.
Hybrid synchronous classes give students the freedom to join a live class from anywhere in the world and feel like they are participating in the class.
Asynchronous learning allows students to engage with the class content and at time of their choosing so that they will be able to accommodate changing life needs, from work, severe weather impact to self-isolation should this be required.
These modern and interactive classes go beyond a Zoom experience. Skilled teachers facilitate activities that allow you to interact with students physically on campus and those online studying overseas or remotely.
In this specialization (Tourism and Hospitality Leadership), you will learn how to influence and inspire entire organisations, not just teams, and guide and enhance entire regions, not just venues. Advance your career in this exciting and growing industry.
