Abstract: This study examines the perceptions of students and faculty on the use of an e-learning module in a tourism and hospitality program offered in a non-sectarian autonomous university with four campuses. A self-paced course by a third party was offered to selected tourism and hospitality students. Instructional materials are in the form of presentation slides with audio, video, and flip books. Evaluation of the course was solicited through an online survey conducted for students and faculty, and interviews with administrators. Results indicate positive reception among students, faculty and administrators and recommendations on internet infrastructure and monitoring procedures for the succeeding classes.
Key words: face to face instruction; blended delivery; tourism and hospitality management
