Online booking

Start with booking systems

Begin with the Booking Systems mind map for an overview of types of booking. It includes airlines, holiday bookings, travel agents and rail companies, alongside customer advantages and disadvantages. The Booking System mind map also lists cinemas, theaters and appointment booking systems. Together, they give school students examples to use when describing where booking systems are used.

As you look through the maps, notice how the examples are grouped. Try explaining what each type of organization lets a customer book, using the map as a prompt.

Compare the points

The Booking online mind map brings together customer advantages, including booking at any time, instant responses and avoiding double bookings. Online Booking adds advantages and disadvantages. Booking Online groups points under customer, business and process, and includes the issue of access to the necessary equipment.

Use these maps to practice describing both sides of online booking. Compare the points each creator has included and use them as prompts for your own explanations, rather than assuming every point applies to every system.

Move from maps to flashcards

After exploring a map, use the flashcards on online booking system advantages to recall points without looking at the map. Then return to the map to see which ideas you included. Teachers can also use the maps and cards as ready-made material for discussion and practice.

Online booking is part of the Online Services and E-commerce unit in Computing and ICT. The page also includes flashcards on e-commerce and online shopping, with prompts about the shopping process and customer advantages. These offer a way to connect booking with the wider unit through the resources listed here. Choose a mind map and pair it with a flashcard deck for your next study session.
