**Part A. – Weekly Travel Diary Entry**

As part of the students assessment, they will be asked to submit a weekly entry into their own online “Travel Diary”.

I will ask the students to detail to me how “workable” or user-friendly they found the suggested websites in each topic, i.e. “Purchasing Flights” – the domestic and international flight booking engines used. They will also be requested to recommend optional websites that they may have had some success with in the past.

In addition to this weekly entry, they will need to record a holiday journal entry of at least //two// of their own experiences into the appropriate area ofthe Travel Online wiki site for their colleagues to also read and learn from. This may include a family holiday to Wilson’s Promontory in southern Victoria or a ski holiday to the Swiss Alps.

**Part B – Fact File**

The students will also be required to complete a “Fact File” on a destination. Either ballot will choose the destination or they may have a specific request. They will need to contact me with alternative choice so that the destinations do not become duplicated.

They will need to complete the template attached with the required details. All corresponding websites pages where the information was found must also be listed under each heading. This fact file will need to be submitted electronically, by the due date.

This fact file will also be linked under the appropriate heading in the wiki site.
