Abstract: The principle of automatic control is a professional basic course for automation majors in ordinary colleges and universities. For students, it is difficult to stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning by traditional teaching mode because of its long class hours, strong theoretical nature, complex proof and calculation. In order to solve the problem of students' lack of participation in class due to the complexity of content, teaching methods, students' foundation, attention and other reasons, it is proposed to introduce information technology means such as shared documents and forms to realize course status monitoring. Through carefully prepared classroom handouts and in-class quizzes, students' learning motivation and efficiency will be improved, the learning state of the course will be grasped in real time, the learning effect feedback and optimization path will be opened, and the active mastery of knowledge will be promoted by thinking. This paper discusses and tries the concrete implementation methods of the interaction of theoretical teaching and explores new ways to improve the teaching effect of the course. The teaching practice data and student feedback show that the teaching reform program proposed in this paper has achieved good results, and there is room for further continuous improvement in teaching methods.
