Using the “Construction of the Panoramic Virtual Nature Museum of the Guizhou Crocodile Lizard at Mount Dagui” as a case study, we aim to establish a professional and interdisciplinary learning community, incorporate student-centered interactive teaching methods, boost student motivation, enhance teaching quality, nurture forwardthinking versatile innovative talents, and provide a guideline for interdisciplinary educational reform.
