There are some problems in the teaching reform of history majors in some colleges. Not only are there deviations in teaching level and teaching methods, but there are also limitations in the implementation of reform methods that meet the reform objectives, which are closely related to the reform methods of each college and the characteristics of history major itself. On the one hand, with the complete integration and application of information technology and communication technology, history teaching is facing the upgrade from information-based teaching to digital teaching. This paper selects the innovation of history teaching mode in colleges and universities based on digital technology as the research topic, summarizes the present situation of history teaching from the current situation of history education and the problems in the process of digitalization, and analyzes the significance of the innovation of history teaching mode.
