Technology in
the Classroom
Champlain College
has long been a leader in teaching
students how computer technology can
be used to increase management effectiveness
on the job. In the hospitality industry,
managers can significantly improve
their ability to make decisions, control
costs, implement marketing initiatives,
and ultimately provide superior service
and value for their guests and clients.
Here's a look at
some of the software application we
use in the classroom, and students
use in the real world.
