Abstract

This study, set against the backdrop of the rapid development of new media technology, focuses on the current status and challenges of animation education in private colleges and universities in Liaoning Province. Through in-depth research, it was found that the teaching system is lagging behind in content updates, technology application, and industry-education integration, making it difficult to meet the industry's demand for innovative and versatile animation professionals. To address this, the study explores and implements an animation teaching reform path tailored for private colleges and universities, leveraging the characteristics of new media. This includes optimizing the curriculum to integrate new media technology and creative thinking, enhancing practical teaching on digital platforms, promoting collaboration between schools and enterprises, and improving faculty members' new media literacy. The practice has shown that these reforms have effectively enhanced students' practical skills and employment competitiveness, providing valuable experience and references for the adaptation of animation education in private colleges and universities in Liaoning Province and even nationwide to the development of the new media era.
