With the rapid development of information technology, the internet has become a crucial domain for students in Higher Vocational Education Institutions to study, live, and socialize. Consequently, network-based education has emerged as a key link for Higher Vocational Education Institutions to fulfill the fundamental task of "fostering virtue through education". This paper first analyzes the generative logic of network-based education in Higher Vocational Education Institutions from three dimensions: the times' development, policy requirements, and educational needs, clarifying its implementation inevitability and urgency. It then identifies current problems, including outdated concepts, low-quality content, weak team construction, lack of collaboration, and insufficient evaluation. In response, a "five-in-one" practical path is proposed, aiming to provide references for Higher Vocational Education Institutions to enhance network-based education effectiveness and cultivate high-quality technical talents.
