I recently completed the course on "The fundamentals of hotel distribution" and as someone with 3 years experience in the hospitality industry, I found it to be quite enlightening.

Very thorough with the current practices and trends, the fundamentals of hotel distribution introduces you to key opportunities present to a manager and explores evolving avenues that the hotel owner must keep up with. The bird's eye view of distribution helps one understand the complexity of the industry in today's times.

Overall a good course, which gives an excellent introduction into the various aspects of hotel distribution. However the course material dates from 2015 and could use an update. Some of the reading material has already become outdated or contains broken links to webpages which no longer exist.

A VERY INTERESTING AND WELL EXPLAINED COURSE.
THIS COURSE WILL GIVE YOU GOOD KNOWLEDGE AND MORE THAN A BASIC SKILL ON WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR AN HOTEL TO ACCOMPLISH MORE GOALS IN THE ADVERTISING FIELD AND HOW TO MAINTAIN HIS WEBSITE COMPETITIVE AND HOW TO DEAL WITH OTHER TRAVEL AGENT

The course is very well structured, materials are comprehensive. I like the flexibility within deadlines, but good to have deadlines too for stimulation. What I would like to understand more is how my assignments get the final % marks and any feedback would be useful to receive.

The class was interesting but old a bit. The articles we had to read date from 2015 and most of them were not even available anymore. It would have been cool to look up closer at platforms used by hotels in their distribution segment like GDA, CMS, PMS and a booking engine.

The course is very good and understandable. It gives you the feeling of progressing and learning new things.
The only thing you should improve on is to consider speaking more slowly. Because one of the teachers speaks very fast and is difficult to understand.

A lot of the course material is pulled directly from the industry and is challenging, but easy enough to understand for a person with some background knowledge. The material has to be updated, most articles etc are from 2015 and some are not relevant anymore!

Due to date of publication some information is out of date. Few links are missing and some parts need to be revised. But overall this course is absolutely essential for anyone willing to put the base under his knowledge of hospitality.

It was a very interesting course and it;s suitable for both those who work or don;t at the hotwl industry.It's worth the try and especialy the videos with the representers of Booking.com and Expedia.com were absolutely helpful.

Very interesting introduction to the fundamentals of hotel distribution. The material is not outdated (2015) but should included more recent documentation, as we are in 2020 now... Also, many links are not available.

Interesting and very well structured course overall, but being old, most of the article links do not work. Also, I would have included the tables that the professors showed and referred to in the download section.

Learning from basic. The material is enough for fundamental level.
The exam question was a bit difficult because there was no similar examples in the course.

Review assignments by colleagues I believe is not the best way to learn and avaluate, teachers must do that, our grades must be given by teachers.

The course content is great, and the teacher is fantastic.
It needs some updating though. 7 years is a lot. The industry has changed a bit since.

I personally feel that the works reviews and explanations are not a good methodology for learning on platforms, is better by exercises and exams.

The course was very good. The only negative is that it isn't updated, the materials are all old and things in the industry are rapidly changing.

Well explained, concise and quick.
I would have expected more of the complementary readings. 2015 articles are not relevant any more

Overall it's not bad, however, the video quality is poor. Peer grading assignments sometimes take a while to finalize grades.
