Abstract:
Today, education requires a constant search of methods and instruments that stimulate students’ engagement. Active learning methods ensure students’ activities through their creativeness and reactiveness during educational processes. Sim- ulation has been used as a crucial component of active teaching especially in the context of Business Informatics due to a close relationship between simulated business models and computer technologies and management skills. In this paper, we focuse on online Travel Agency Business simulation and show how a real simulation performed through active methodology of web coding results in a complete set of learning outcomes in Digital Tourism and Management education.
