Though hospitality education relies strongly on experiential learning, the COVID-19 pandemic has compelled all the higher educational institutions including the institute of hotel managements (IHMs) to restrict on-campus learning. As the only possible solution to deliver uninterrupted knowledge and skills to the students under these adverse circumstances, the management of these IHMs has quickly retorted to virtual classrooms. Many virtual platforms such as Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Cisco Webex, etc. emerged as the elixir for the institutions with customized features to fulfil the learning needs of the students. This necessitates the need to not only examine and compare the perceptions of these platforms based on virtual classroom service quality, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness but also to understand the impact of these perceptions on the future scope in terms of satisfaction and behavioral intentions of the hospitality students in IHMs.


The year 2020 was marked by the viral disease called the new coronavirus or covid-19. A lethal disease with a high degree of proliferation and contagion in which social isolation and distancing are the forms of palliative prevention to contain the mass advance of the virus. Educational institutions were closed to decrease human contact and most of them adhered to the remote teaching format. As a whole, the covid-19 pandemic modified the traditional classroom format and caused teachers and students to exchange the board and portfolios for the digital screen. It took a new adaptation and reinvention of the teacher, his didactic structure and his teaching-learning process. The objective of this work goes in this direction, to understand the current scenario of remote teaching and how philosophy teachers of higher education in Maranhão are dealing with the online class format and what digital resources/technologies have used in the virtual classroom.

This Chapter develops a bibliographic analysis that associates teaching methodologies with cognitive skills to create a structural map of teaching activities that guide the learning process in classroom, basing on student characteristics. Specifically in higher education, the academic formation within the major universities in the entire world goes through a particular problem: lack of effectiveness in the teaching-learning process. This Chapter starts from the premise that the learning management should be used as a strategy for planning the teaching-learning process. A specific theoretically grounded analysis is used to understood a series of learning activities appropriate to cognitive skills, so authors propose a functionalist model of teaching and learning that seeks greater usefulness in the transfer of knowledge in classroom. Thus, the Chapter covers issues such as: experiential learning for teaching questions, Kolb's theory of experiential learning, teaching-learning process, and applications of learning management.
