Under the condition of a perfect digital technology environment, teachers receive richer teaching resources to enhance their teaching ability, improve their teaching quality, and enrich their teaching content. Teachers teaching with computers could enhance students’ learning motivation, reinforce peer cooperation, train students’ autonomy, and enhance students’ subject learning ability. Delivering vivid sounds and pictures through multimedia- assisted teaching could induce students’ learning interests and further promote learning effectiveness. Using an experimental design model for the experimental research, 206 college students in Taiwan Province, as the experimental objects, are preceded by the 16-week (total 48 hours) digital technology-integrated entrepreneurship education experiment. Research findings show the following: 1. Teachers, according to students’ learning satisfaction, check students’ learning effectiveness to ensure teaching quality and timely modify teaching styles to better match students’ learning needs. The benign interaction could largely assist in the improvement of the entire educational environment. 2. The application of digital technology in integrated entrepreneurship education reveals significantly positive effects on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial performance. According to the results of the proposed discussions, it is expected to acquire more information about entrepreneurship education and its relevance in order to provide entrepreneurship education and the related promotion units and people with practice directions and suggestions for practicable and proper entrepreneurship education in order to effectively implement the ideal and objective of entrepreneurship education.
