Research Exploring Innovative Strategies and Optimizing the Implementation of Digital Leaning Models in Higher Education

Abstract

This study focuses on exploring innovative strategies and optimizing the implementation of digital teaching models in higher education. It aims to examine the value of applying digital teaching, its implementation strategies, and profound impacts, and to provide new ideas and pathways for the development of this field. The subjects of the study were 202 students at Haiyuan School of Nursing of Kunming Medical University. Through surveys and data analysis, the study revealed the potential of digital teaching to improve learning efficiency and student engagement, but also identified challenges such as insufficient resource alignment, varying interaction effects, and limited opportunities for in-depth learning. The study was designed using mixed methods, combining experimental research with qualitative descriptive research, and collected student and faculty assessment data through a questionnaire platform. The analysis showed that although digital teaching did not provide clear advantages in all aspects, students who adopted it tended to allocate a medium learning time of 3-5 hours, which could contribute to improved learning efficiency. However, there were significant differences in teachers' assessments of the effectiveness of digital teaching tools, reflecting challenges in technology adaptation and instructional design. Based on the research findings, this study proposes suggestions to establish a balanced learning time system, enhance teachers' digital skills, and optimize resource allocation and interaction. These measures aim to integrate the strengths of digital and traditional teaching, promote overall student development, and support the digital transformation of higher education. The study emphasizes that digital teaching has significant advantages in enhancing educational reach and classroom interactivity, but also needs to focus on key issues such as resource allocation, technology adaptation, and instructional design to ensure that digital teaching truly improves teaching quality and learning outcomes.
