Abstract: The implementation of the academic tutor system in the teaching of the animation major has not changed the plight of the animation major. One important reason is that the academic tutor's responsibilities are too broad, and there is no unified standard or effective operation and guarantee mechanism, resulting in insufficient practical teaching of the animation major and students' weak practical ability. Local undergraduate colleges and universities mainly train animation production talents for animation companies. Animation major teaching emphasizes practical skills. To be market-oriented, we should construct a reasonable teaching system that combines online theoretical teaching with professional practice under the responsibility of offline academic tutors.

Key words: academic tutor system, animation major teaching, practical ability
