Web Based Learning in Food Technology

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses web-based learning and how it should be used in conjunction with cooperative learning to enhance students' reasoning and critical thinking skills. It discusses the advantages of web-based learning over other conventional modes of education and teaching environments. The paper then focuses on web-based learning in food technology and how it can be used to create a good end product.

From the Paper:

"For example, the simulation has a recipe research feature which can help the students gain knowledge in the formulation of new recipes. This correlates to the planning, preparation, presentation and evaluating food solutions for specific purposes. The students decide what theme they want for their restaurant and choose recipes specifically designed for that purpose. When we discuss recipe formulation and what aspects are desired in food choice, I will relate what we have learned to the simulated game. From there, we can discuss my experiences as a pastry cook and business owner."
