This Module includes:

• An introductory lesson (4 hours) focused on the methods and tools for designing virtual field trips based on virtual tour principles.
• A field trip (8 hours): a visit to a tourism destination, where students will collect information and materials essential for creating a virtual tour.
• Hands-on lessons (8 hours): group activities focused on conceptualizing and prototyping virtual field trips, using the materials gathered during the field trip.

The lecture materials and additional resources to support a deeper understanding of the course topics will be made available by the lecturer on the course's Microsoft Teams channel.

Attendance is mandatory for at least 70% of the total course hours.

• • Lectures and tutorials

  • Field trip

  • Group discussions

  • Internet research

  • Group work (creation of a virtual field trip using the concept of virtual tour)

  
  

• The students will develop a group project (a virtual tour) aimed at promoting a tourist itinerary of the visited destination, highlighting its unique features.

  The final evaluation will be based 40% on participation and involvement during lessons and the trip and 60% on the quality of the virtual tour produced as a group work.
