Abstract
Educators in tourism and hospitality management are under increasing pressure from various stakeholders to ensure graduates have the skills to ensure the competitiveness of Australia’s visitor economy. This paper argues that online simulations are an effective tool for developing many of the graduate capabilities required in the workplace and reports on a national project to assist educators to embed these simulations into the curriculum. The project included the development of an online toolkit consisting of case studies, a good practice guide, discussion papers and a student learning barometer.
