ABSTRACT

One of the most important questions posed by faculty and curriculum designers is, what content should be included in my online course design? To answer this question, it is important to reflect on the type of knowledge or skills students will be expected to gain during their term of study.

There are three common designs for course development: Forward, Central and Backward. Each will be addressed in this article, but the main focus is on Backward Design which emphasizes beginning with the end goal or established learning objectives. The authors agree that Backward Design has been particularly effective in their field of expertise in the areas of hospitality and event management at three separate institutions.

During a period when instructors are re-examining every aspect of their teaching due to mandatory modifications in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic is the perfect time to investigate the steps used in Backward Design and to explore the methods that best apply to building an online course in tourism-based programs of study.

摘要

教师和课程设计者提出的最重要的问题之一是，我的在线课程设计应包含哪些内容？要回答这个问题，重要的是要反思学生在学习期间有望获得的知识或技能类型。

课程开发有三种常见的设计：前向、中央和后向。每一个都将在本文中讨论，但主要关注的是落后设计，它强调从最终目标或既定学习目标开始。作者同意，落后设计在三个独立机构的酒店和活动管理领域的专业领域特别有效。

在教师因应对全球 COVID-19 大流行而进行强制性修改而重新检查其教学的各个方面的时期，是调查落后设计中使用的步骤并探索最适用于构建教学的方法的最佳时机以旅游为基础的学习计划的在线课程。
