ABSTRACT

In recent years, the use of digital textbooks in higher education has garnered considerable attention. Compared to traditional paper-based textbooks, digital textbooks offer numerous advantages. Fully utilizing the development opportunities brought by the new generation of information technology and industrial revolution in the new era, promoting the deep integration of digital technology and vocational education, and continuously promoting the construction of digital teaching materials for vocational education have important practical significance for achieving high-quality development of vocational education in China. This paper explores the development and exploration of digital textbooks for cruise food and beverage management courses in vocational colleges. It includes the process of creating digital textbooks, discusses their potential impact on teaching outcomes, and provides pathways for effective utilization of digital textbooks. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and case studies, this paper aims to provide feasibility references for vocational colleges and related disciplines, leveraging digital technology to enrich and enhance vocational education in cruise food and beverage management.
