Abstract

This article focuses on the digital transformation of ideological and political education (IPE) in universities (IPECU) in the Internet era. In view of the fact that the traditional IPE model can't meet the changes of students' habits of information acquisition and communication, and the needs of educational modernization, through the investigation and analysis of students' Internet usage habits, this article makes in-depth research from the perspectives of necessity, feasibility, key elements and innovative practice paths. The survey found that more than 80% students surf the Internet for more than 2 hours a day, and rely on social media to get information. The traditional model can't meet their interactive and interesting needs for IPE. Furthermore, technology, resources and policies provide feasibility for digital transformation. The key elements include the transformation of educational concept, the remodeling of instructional content, the innovation of mode and method and the improvement of teachers' quality. Based on this, innovative practice paths such as building multiple platforms, carrying out various activities, strengthening resource construction and integration, and strengthening assessment feedback are put forward to promote the digital transformation of IPECU and improve the quality of IPE.
