To innovate the traditional teaching method of normal colleges and enhance their teaching effect, this paper employed the Action Research method to develop a novel and demand-oriented teaching mode in the context of information age, the Information Technology (IT)-integrated Project-based Learning (PjBL) teaching mode, which was then applied to the teaching of the course Modern Education Technology to explore its effect in teaching reform. With the IT-integrated PjBL teaching mode, this study attempted to conduct structural reform on the said course, solve problems in course teaching, and reflect upon the defects of the proposed IT-integrated PjBL teaching mode. The main research conclusions are: (1) The IT-integrated PjBL teaching mode requires teachers to fully understand the real-world demands and form a demand-oriented teaching idea; (2) The teaching content framework should be sorted and integrated based on the project demands; (3) Students’ initiative and personal specialties should be fully motivated during team building; (4) A regular reporting system should be established to supervise the teaching process and it should be implemented strictly; (5) Learning contests can inspect students’ learning effect while boosting their sense of accomplishment, which is exactly the impetus for the continuous learning of students. The research findings of this paper provided a reference for the reform of teaching idea and teaching practice of undergraduate education in the context of information age.

Graphic composition occupies an important position in the basic courses of art major. However, the effect is often not brought into play due to the outdated single teaching method. This study introduces the teaching practice of paper-cutting art thinking in the curriculum teaching reform. It analyses how to use paper-cutting art thinking in the curriculum teaching reform and to use art-cutting thinking to help student better understand abstract language. This study also guides students to use paper-cutting for innovative practice in the basic course to improve the composition. The findings showed that the use of paper-cutting art thinking can effectively help students better understand abstract language. Students are constructing basic courses as the course practice of Chinese using this teaching method is richer and more innovative. The paper-cutting art thinking method provides a richer theoretical basis and practical teaching method for teaching reforms.

With the rapid development of Internet technology, in consequence of the outbreak of COVID-19, colleges and universities have postponed the start of term, in order to protect the life safety of teachers and students. However, to avoid affecting students’ academic studies, colleges and universities have taken various virtual reality technologies to implement personalized online teaching on students. However, there are still some problems in actual teaching, such as the monotonous teaching mode of animation course, which results in students’ lack of practical animation operation ability; the lectures lay too much emphasis on the textbook content and the pedagogical knowledge in animation is not updated, etc. In our study, we will combine Animation Teaching mode with the educational concept of STEAM, and designs a teaching mode oriented to students’ needs. This teaching mode include five parts: analysis of students’ needs, analysis of learning goals, selection of learning strategies, design of learning activities and design of learning evaluation. At the same time, based on the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) Model, our study will also investigate student satisfaction from four dimensions: student expectations, students’ perceived quality, students’ perceived value and student loyalty, with a view to measure the effectiveness of this teaching model. Through the teaching practice, it is found that this teaching mode can significantly promote students’ grades and motivate their enthusiasm for learning. The students’ autonomic learning and mastery of professional knowledge are significantly superior to those of traditional multimedia teaching method. The proposed teaching mode offers an objective reference for the application of virtual reality technology in teaching.
