Upon completion of the activities, students are given a score that represents their knowledge of that particular learning objective and are linked to an instructor gradebook. Users progress through the characters in each learning module and are rewarded by unlocking new characters and activities. The development of Hospitality & Tourism Interactive involved working with various instructors to develop the scripts and activities for the avatars and an outside media vendor, All Things Media, to create a stunning simulated environment that brings to life the most exciting industry in the world hospitality.
