Summary: This paper discusses the importance of constructing high-level, innovative, and challenging courses in college teaching, as well as exploring innovative teaching methods to improve students' learning effectiveness. Taking the course "Civil Engineering Construction" in the field of civil engineering as an example, a teaching innovation mode guided by students' moral education and achievements is adopted. The dual platforms and three educations mode are established to expand learning approaches and improve students' comprehensive quality. Through comprehensive academic evaluation using four reports, students not only master the knowledge in civil engineering construction, but also develop knowledge innovation ability and professional ethics.

Summary: To address the lack of ideology and politics in psychological health teaching, this study proposes a cascading detection-classification method to detect and develop the structure of ideology and politics for education. The study uses convolution neural networks and feature pyramid networks to extract features from digital platforms, and combines them to achieve multi-modal detection. An improved bi-directional long short-term memory algorithm is then used for content recognition. The proposed model achieves recall, accuracy, and F-measure rates of 84.33%, 87.36%, and 86.54% respectively, with a recognition accuracy of 97.49%.
