Course objectives
The aim of the course is to familiarize the students with a theory and a practice of creating teaching materials in chemistry. The emphasis is put on the creation of electronic teaching materials practically usable in chemistry tuition in high schools, but students also practically work with many printed teaching materials for elementary and high school (e.g. textbooks or popularization literature).
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, a student can: compare different teaching materials and select the appropriate material for a particular pedagogical goal; can design and create own teaching materials for teaching chemistry (e.g., textbook, presentation, simple web or interactive material) concerning didactic and graphic design and copyright law. Students can also work with a variety of teaching software (including software for creating chemical formulas, interactive textbooks and worksheets, and chemical games) and are familiar with databases of chemical experiments used to create materials.

Teaching methods
The course consists of 11 two-hour practical lessons, where students learn the theory of creating teaching materials, and, most importantly, practically learn the basics of creating their own electronic teaching materials.
Assessment methods
Completing the course: credits are received on the base of a student performance analysis (assessment of created teaching materials, active participation in the lessons).
Language of instruction
