• Resumen

  • Use of web assistance in the traditional classroom has been of interest to many faculty since the inception of the World Wide Web several years ago. Evidence exists which suggests the use of web-based course software is not only convenient for students, but has a positive impact on their learning. However many faculty have been reluctant to make use of web-based tools in their classroom because of the time involved in developing their course and in mastering the use of these tools. This article presents a discussion of several myths and truths concerning the use of web-based tools in a hotel and restaurant management (HRM) classroom. A model is presented which can assist HRM faculty in making decisions and potentially implementing these tools. The article concludes with an evaluation of the model in a specific HRM class.
