Hospitality and Tourism Students Use of Technology Cary C. Countryman Michael Sciarini Matthew Roberts

Research Goals O Identify what type of technology is personally owned and used by students O Determine best method of social media interaction O Compare and contrast to other academic disciplines or institutions O See how technology usage evolves and changes over time

Previous Research O Specific forms of technology being used in hospitality and tourism education O Overall impact of ‘technology enhanced teaching and learning’ O The effects of emerging technology on planning in hospitality and tourism education

Ongoing Research O Educause Center for Applied Research O National Study of Undergraduate Students and Information Technology. O Limitations: O General focus and therefor lacks specific insight into hospitality and tourism students or ‘our students’ O Leaves out other areas of interest such as social media interaction

Methodology O Survey was developed based on earlier efforts to assess the use of technology by undergraduate university students. These include simple surveys by faculty members and university information technology staff members. Additional questions were drawn from the 2011 study done by ECAR. O Pilot study during the 2012 summer session with students taking hospitality and tourism courses
