Abstract: Amid the wave of digitalization, the interaction between the subjects and objects of education in cyberspace is taking on new forms. Educational subjects are transitioning from the "authority-centered" role to the roles of "guides" and "co-journeyers," while educational objects are being elevated from "passive recipients" to "active participants" and "content co-creators." In light of these transformative trends, innovative pathways are proposed: building a new "Smart+" integrated ecosystem for ideological and political education (IPE); creating immersive experiential classrooms empowered by artificial intelligence (AI); promoting in-depth interaction and content co-creation between subjects and objects; and forming closed-loop mechanisms for dynamic and precise evaluation and feedback. These pathways aim to enhance the relevance and effectiveness of IPE in higher education in the digital era, and to provide theoretical reference and practical action plans for relevant research and practice.
