摘要：Covid -19 has changed the normal way of teaching and learning in higher education. The traditional classroom teaching method are slowly becoming obsolete due to the introduction of non-pharmaceutical health protocols. Students are now forced to learn from home, face to face contact sessions has become a thing of the past and learning has changed dramatically. Homes have become new classrooms, online teaching has become the new norm and teaching in higher education has evolved tremendously. This paper seeks to examine appropriate approaches in teaching and learning in Higher Education Tertiary Institutions. A qualitative approach was used to collect data using a key informant technique. Interviews were conducted until a saturation level was reached, the data was then analyzed and categorized using themes. The results show that learning in Hospitality will take a hybrid approach in future, whereby online educational material will be combined with the traditional in classroom method to achieve acceptable education outcomes. Considering the nature of Hospitality Education, which is technical and vocational, which cannot be fully virtual nor fully digital, the teaching will require the physical presence of both lecturer and learner while providing the learner some control over time and space. The future of Hospitality education should have virtual elements of learning that are complimented with in-person lectures. The digital aspects of hybrid learning will allow for a unique acquisition of soft skills and the overall knowledge of business acumen. The in-person aspect will allow the imparting of vocational skills to ensure the learner acquire prerequisite practical skills and knowledge required in the Hospitality Industry. The paper concludes that Covid-19 has redefined teaching and learning in Hospitality Education and will continue into the future beyond Covid-19.
