Sažetak
Web-based education marshals web technologies to the task of education and training. It implies the confluence of three social and technical developments: distant learning, computer-conveyed education, and Internet technologies. It draws on technologies, traditions, and techniques of all three areas and, at the same time, can learn from successes and failures of all three. Since tourism is a global business, and the Internet as well as the web are global resources, they have much in common. This is the reason why it seems pretty logical to direct education and training for tourism towards web-based educational applications and systems. The paper discusses some of the most important aspects of web-based education and training systems for tourism, among which particularly: heritage and history of web-based education and training in general, appeal of the just-in-time characteristic, advantages and disadvantages of web-based education and training systems design, and selection of courses and educational modalities.
