Virtual practical teaching, which is developing in the age of the Internet, represents a new form, dimension, and exploration of practical training. It utilizes modern information technologies and networked, intelligent communication platforms to integrate online and offline educational resources. By building virtual libraries of valuable resources, it aims to promote students’ subjective consciousness – an essential supplement to traditional practical education. The in-depth exploration of virtual practical education actively drives the reform of ideological and political education in higher education. This, in turn, enhances the persuasiveness, attractiveness, and affinity of these courses. It also drives the innovation and development of educational concepts and teaching systems in ideological and political education.

Keywords: Internet era, ideological and political education in higher education, virtual practical teaching
