The coupling of digital technology empowerment and policies aimed at strengthening education through science and technology has propelled the development of digital media technology as a discipline. This field, centered on the digital industrial transformation, is an innovative educational system that emphasizes the cultivation of modern talents with high-level digital technology application skills, practical abilities, and a balanced development of morality and skills. Adopting an industry-education integration approach within digital media technology education serves as an effective bridge between universities and enterprises, breaking down barriers between educational theory and practical application, and ensuring precise alignment between talent cultivation and the development of the digital industry. Curriculum-based ideological and political education, as a crucial avenue for nurturing talents with both moral integrity and technical proficiency in higher education institutions, facilitates the establishment of correct ideological perspectives among students and cultivates their sense of social responsibility and professional ethics. Therefore, the collaborative model of industry-education integration and curriculum-based ideological and political education better meets the talent cultivation needs of the digital media technology discipline. This paper analyzes the internal logic and value propositions of their collaborative educational efforts, draws on the current state of industry-education integration and curriculum-based ideological and political education in digital technology disciplines, explores implementation paths for their collaboration, and lays the foundation for reforms in digital media technology education and the cultivation of comprehensive talents.
