Abstract

With development of open source economies, the reform of the integration of industry and education of college computer courses has taken on a new direction. The purpose of this study is to discuss the features and paths of integrating open source mode into college computer teaching, helping students understand open source ecology, actively participate in open source innovation, and improve innovation ability. We use the research method of literature review and case description. The literature review part summarizes the research trend of open source and the current situation of open source in college education. In the analysis part, we describe the practical integration process of students' participation in open source projects and developers' interaction, and discuss the effectiveness and implementation strategies of this teaching method. The study found that college students' participation in open source projects not only broadened their horizons, but also improved their innovation and entrepreneurial ability in practice. Therefore, the teaching method of open source mode provides a new idea and path for cultivating interdisciplinary talents to adapt to the development of digital economy in the future.
