Application of Knowledge Chain in the Construction of Online Tourism Education Resources

Abstract

Online tourism education occupies an important position in tourism education. Building a knowledge chain can clearly demonstrate the logical relationship between knowledge points of the entire discipline of tourism education, and enable the students to better grasp and understand the relationship between relevant knowledge points through online tourism education. This paper explores the application of knowledge chain in the construction of online tourism education resources (OTERs). Specifically, the associations between knowledge units in OTERs were modeled, the associations between knowledge units were computed, the structure of knowledge chain was optimized, and the OTER knowledge chain was analyzed in details. Through experiments, an example knowledge chain was constructed, and the students’ satisfaction with the application of OTER knowledge chain was evaluated thoroughly.
