Based on the OBE (Outcomes-Based Education) concept, this study explores the necessity, pathways, and methods for the reform of the “ecotourism” course. By reconstructing the teaching objective system oriented towards student learning outcomes, optimizing teaching content and methods, and innovating the evaluation mechanism; and by integrating teaching resources with intelligent education technologies to build a blended online-offline teaching model, the course can better meet industry needs and student development, thereby cultivating high-quality talents that can adapt to the new era of ecotourism development.
