Educators’ Use and Views of Simulations as Teaching Tools within a Discipline: The Example of Hospitality and Tourism

This Scholarship of Teaching and Learning study investigated hospitality faculty members’ perceptions and use of industry-related simulations in hospitality and tourism education to help the authors understand how simulations are and can be used as educational tools.
