With the advent of the information age， the centralized and bureaucratized model of ideological and political education in higher education institutions established during the industrial age is facing challenges. In terms of mindset， there is a need to shift from bureaucratized to equal and interactive style； in terms of technological means， a transition should be made from labor-experience-driven to data-intelligence-driven； and in terms of work modes， a shift from one-way procedural approach to all-round collaborative approach is called for. To strengthen and improve ideological and political education in universities in the information age， the following suggestions are proposed： first， establishing internet thinking， and updating educational philosophies based on such characteristics as openness， equality， interaction， collaboration， and sharing； second， utilizing network information technologies such as big data， cloud computing， and artificial intelligence to enhance the level of intelligent ideological and political education； finally， improving the relevance and timeliness of Three Complete Education in the network context.
