A Good Flipped Classroom Case 11 from SHTM - Prof Dori Davari

Abstract

This case study investigates the implementation of a flipped classroom model in the course "Strategic Management for Travel and Tourism Businesses" (HTM544), instructed by Professor Dori Davari from the School of Hotel and Tourism Management. It outlines the rationale for this pedagogical shift and details the step-by-step execution process. The study identifies several innovative best practices, most notably the securing of industry sponsorship to enhance realism and resources, the creation of a dynamic learning environment, a strong emphasis on real-world application, and the provision of personalised feedback and mentorship. The case provides a balanced view, demonstrating clear benefits for student learning while also addressing the significant challenges of obtaining industry partners and balancing innovative teaching practices with established institutional guidelines.
