Exploring a Collaborative Model for Ideological and Aesthetic Education in Online Courses of Higher Vocational Colleges Based on Smart and Digital

Abstract

With the rapid development of information technology and the increasing demand for high-quality vocational education, intelligent and digital teaching has emerged as a pivotal direction for educational reform in higher vocational institutions. This paper, set against the backdrop of smart education, delves into the strategies for developing high-quality online courses in higher vocational colleges, emphasizing the organic integration of ideological-political education and aesthetic education. The goal is not only to modernize teaching methodologies and content but also to construct a collaborative education model that aligns with the educational mission of cultivating well-rounded, morally grounded, and aesthetically capable students.
This study systematically examines the current challenges faced in the development and application of digital course resources, such as the fragmentation of content, lack of integration of value-oriented elements, and the limited engagement of aesthetic experiences. It explores a feasible mechanism for effectively combining digital resource construction, curriculum content design, and value guidance into a unified instructional framework. Based on practical cases and field investigation, the paper further outlines the pedagogical paths and technical means necessary to build a data-driven, student-centered, and culturally enriched learning ecosystem.
Ultimately, this research proposes a replicable and scalable implementation model for the integration of ideological and aesthetic education in the online course development process. It provides not only theoretical insights into collaborative education under the digital paradigm but also practical references for vocational colleges seeking to innovate their curriculum systems and talent training models in line with the demands of the new era.
