In order to make better use of existing computer hardware resources and give full play to the advantages of information-based teaching, this paper analyzes the current constraints and problems of information-based teaching, summarizes the characteristics and advantages of Virtual Box virtual machine technology, and proposes a solution for building an information-based teaching platform based on Virtual Box virtual machine technology. The teaching practice demonstrates that the information technology teaching platform created with this solution is highly efficient in deployment, stable in operation, compatible, and has produced positive classroom teaching results.
