Abstract: Abstract The chapter examines the impact and role of technology on tourism curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment. The chapter starts by considering the importance of technology as a content area in the tourism curriculum. The discussion explores contemporary applications of technologies such as simulations, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), and mobile learning and their impact on pedagogy. The discussion of assessment practice considers how technologies have provided learners and educators with new tools for assuring and verifying learning gains. Challenges, benefits, and future directions are highlighted throughout the chapter. Key themes across the chapter are brought together in the form of a future research agenda for educators and researchers. It is hoped that this chapter will help tourism academics and educators to make informed decisions about the adoption and integration of contemporary educational technologies in their own courses and institutions.
