Tiivistelmä
The study focused on how learning can be enhanced with the inclusion of multisensory and digital elements in the first semester tourism studies. The theoretical framework featured the experience economy, digitalisation, interpretation and inquiry learning.
The objective was to find out if and how students perceive the multisensory and digital elements included in their studies enhance their learning. The method was content analysis of small group discussions and written sources of information.
The results indicated that the students were aware of the role of the senses in their learning process, some being able to describe it better than others. The digital elements were found positive and essential for future professional life, but also distractive and causing concerns over privacy by some. In conclusion, the students felt that both inclusions enhanced their learning process. It is important to find the right mix of both human and digital elements in the studies
