Instructional Design of Practice Course of Logistics System Planning and Design Based on Visio

As one of the core curriculums of logistics management major in colleges and universities, the Logistics System Planning and Design course includes the overview of logistics system planning and design, logistics system planning principles, logistics system strategic planning, location model, logistics network planning, logistics facilities planning and logistics park planning. In order to achieve the teaching purpose of this course, theoretical teaching and practical teaching must complement each other. In the practical teaching, assistance of cartographic software is needed to complete the layout planning and plane design of logistics system. Teachers in universities often use Flexsim or AutoCAD software to carry out practical courses. However, for higher vocational students with poor understanding and computer skills, it is difficult to master both kinds of software, let alone apply them. So, how to select a suitable tool-software for them is a problem that the teachers in vocational collages have been thinking about. Based on Visio, this article put forward the most suitable teaching method for practice course and designed the teaching contents in details. It has been proved that this idea can work. Using VISIO in teaching, students' learning enthusiasm and classroom concentration is improved, as well as learning effect is ideal.
