DESCRIPTION
The interactive lessons include material from the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 12th grade - compulsory and specialized training. The lessons are prepared very professionally, in details, interactive and interesting. They give a great opportunity for easy accepting and understanding the material and possibility to check knowledge.
The content of each lesson is shown on the first page. There is a window stating the learning objectives that are presented in two directions: "At the end of the lesson you should already know" and "You should already know." There is a video film on each page, a window with directions and a task which check the results, opens. There is an opportunity another film, presentation, vocabulary, illustrations, table to be opened on the same page. The results of the lesson can be seen at the end of the subject, where the total amount of soled problems from all pages is reported. Each lesson is supplied with an electronic and practical guide for teachers, where educational standards are indicated.
Electronic lessons provide updated information and rich media: animations, simulations, video and audio materials, interactive exercises which accompany Chemistry Edu
New technologies provide unique opportunities for improving the quality of educational products. Electronic lessons are the new way to prepare students for coming tests and exams.
An increasing number of teachers prefer to take advantage of modern technologies and assign tasks to students, which implementation involves the use of information technology. In this way we get closer to their world. They are familiar with the computer, with the new technologies! This is a way to attract their attention in the process of learning and teaching Chemistry.
Electronic lessons facilitate the work of the teacher, giving him/her a real chance to revive the magic of learning using the wealth of additional materials and giving students the chance to realize their personal creativity and good ideas. These lessons change the learning environment and make the classroom an attractive place for students. Each electron lesson has a detailed tutorial instruction for work, interactive exercises and test.
COMMENTS
Visualization and the use of multimedia is a well proven method for easier and more successful learning. Therefore the content of traditional paper books is supplemented with photos, short films, sound recordings, interactive exercises and appropriate educational materials in the Internet.
Electronic lessons give the opportunity the material to be presented attractively enough in order to hold students’ attention. They replace the expensive equipment and materials needed for laboratory work on the subject. Students’ positive abilities as fast reactions, good level of concentration, quick response are well developed in the process of teaching and learning using multimedia. E-learning allows individual approach of training and opportunity for self- check and self-evaluation using tests.

Along with the positive aspects, the e-learning has its negative sides. It is not always possible for the student to achieve the desired organization and planning his/her personal process of learning. The relation teacher – student is reduced. We should not forget the fact that the computer monitor is much more tiresome for human eyes, than simply reading something written on paper. Not all schools and not all students have equal opportunities to use computers and Internet.

Combining the best teaching methods with attractive opportunities for computer design and visualization, we can create conditions for better training in Chemistry, attracting students' interest to this science.
