Abstract

Organic chemistry is a fundamental course for chemical engineering students, yet it faces numerous challenges due to limited instructional time, extensive content, and the complexity of its theoretical concepts. These factors often hinder effective teaching and learning. This study explores the integration of modern information technologies in the teaching of organic chemistry, within the context of the digital age. By utilizing tools such as Xuexitong, Rain Classroom, videos, flash animations, comics, images, online resources, QQ, WeChat, and email, a hybrid teaching model combining both online and offline methods is proposed. This approach incorporates various information technologies into an "inquiry-based" teaching methodology. In this model, students are placed at the center of the learning process, with teachers acting as facilitators who guide and organize the learning journey. This approach aims to enhance students' autonomy, creativity, and critical thinking. The teaching process follows an inquiry-based structure of "posing questions, analyzing problems, and solving problems", which nurtures students' curiosity, willingness to explore, and innovative thinking. This method addresses the challenges of traditional teaching models, such as difficulty in learning and the disconnect between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
