Innovation and Optimization of College Students' Ideological and Political Education System Based on Digital Education Technology

With the gradual progress of higher education, the ideological and moral construction of college students has become an important and urgent task of school education. It is not only required to cultivate and improve students’ scientific and cultural qualities, but also to achieve the goal of comprehensive development and advance socialist modernization. However, due to traditional concepts, many schools face problems in carrying out Ideological and Political Education (IPE) for college students, such as monotonous teaching methods. The lack of innovation directly affects the effectiveness of IPE, leading to insufficient understanding of the contemporary social situation and even a certain degree of rebelliousness. As the most widely used modern information technology in education, digital education technology has advantages of being advanced, efficient and convenient, helping college students better master modern knowledge and cultivate abilities to use and learn technology to solve practical problems, and effectively enhance learning interest. Based on the principle of gray level cross-correlation, this paper takes image segmentation methods and related algorithms as an example to study common digital image features in IPE digitalization and give corresponding processing strategies. Finally, the design of an IPE digital platform based on gray correlation theory is realized to effectively improve IPE. This paper also compares traditional teaching methods with the IPE system under digital education technology. The results show that the reformed education system is more in line with the current situation, helping cultivate the knowledge and skills needed for social development, with student performance improved by about 3.08%. Scientific programming and intelligent digital education systems can not only meet students’ daily learning needs, but also provide richer services, promoting informatization of IPE, a harmonious campus, and a socialist harmonious society.
