Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to highlight the role blended learning plays in expanding study abroad opportunities.
Design/methodology/approach
The approach utilized involves providing a synopsis of research dealing with study abroad and its benefits, particularly for student populations likely to comprise a significant portion of the dista...

Accordingly, an important research question involves how to determine the business losses associated with internet libel of medical specialists. Because of the relative n...
This paper explores the confluence of surf tourism, artificial surfing reefs, and sustainability. Surfing is an ascendant recreational and tourism industry and artificial surfing reefs are a new and innovative technology and product. Presented within the context of Florida's Space Coast, empirical details on surf tourism are discussed along with th...
Using a marketing-oriented theoretical backdrop, this article investigates the attitudes, opinions, and behaviors of ecotourists participating in what some ecotourism researchers have labeled soft ecot ourism events. Results indicate that this market is comprised of somewhat older, educated, and affluent ecotourists who participate in these events...
In this study, the authors employed a novel, dual approach toward the delivery of course material to assess students' satisfaction with distance learning and their perceptions of its efficacy. Students in two sections of an Introduction to Financial Accounting course received instruction that alternated between traditional, live lectures and live l...
The authors assess student satisfaction with distance learning as well as their perceptions of its efficacy by employing a novel, dual approach towards the delivery of course material. Using two sections of an Introduction to Financial Accounting course, students alternate between receiving course instruction through traditional, live-lectures and...

... Beth proudly stated that her "Spanish improved significantly," and Cassidy celebrated "taking a class in an entirely foreign language [Korean]." Many of the participants also explained that they became more self-confident during their semester abroad, which parallels the findings from Slotkin et al. (2016). Jay explained, "One of the biggest accomplishments that I have experienced in my study abroad time has been gaining more confidence." ...
... While shorter immersions can be stand-alone experiences, they are often integrated into a more comprehensive curriculum design, such as courses with build-in travel components, practicums, 6 Internationalization of Doctoral Research Tolstikov-Mast, Walker, Lemoine, Rosser-Mims internships, conferences, service projects, labs, or consulting services. Faculty-led programs are considered to be optimal for learning in the context of coursework (Campbell, 2016;Mills, Deviney, & Ball, 2010;Slotkin et al., 2012). However, there are many vendors for short-term study abroad that partner with institutions to either fully lead these experiences or do so in conjunction with faculty. ...
... There is a lack of traditional methods so that many universities are now starting to develop e-learning learning methods through the provision of e-learning platforms either created by the university itself or by providers of learning platform services. The development of e-learning lectures is currently growing very quickly where the benefits obtained are reducing costs for physical needs, not being time bound [7], and increasing the number of students enrolling in higher education [8], [9]. ...
... Ite, 1996;Sene-Harper et al., 2019), the environmental benefits of introducing tourism may be overestimated, as such attitudes may have already been positive pre-tourism. Furthermore, while some argue that conservation attitudes can be a good predictor of intention or actual behaviour (Singh et al., 2007), others highlight the attitude-behaviour gap (Juvan & Dolnicar, 2014) and the issue of 'self-reporting' (Kormos & Gifford, 2014). ...
... In a subsequent study in 1998, the same authors acknowledge that the transfer of surf tourism activity from other locations on the Gold Coast to Narrowneck would mean that " there would be no net benefit to the region " [36]. Slotkin and colleagues highlight that the assessment of sustainability of surfing is hampered by the paucity of economic data and the subjective interpretation of success [37]. These same issues arise whilst addressing the economics of ASRs. ...
