Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, an online inorganic chemistry course for engineering students was set up at Zhejiang University for the 2020 spring semester. In this study, we will be using this course as an example of how to offer efficient methods for online teaching in chemistry. Applications such as DingTalk, WeChat, and the Learning@ZJU Web site were combined to establish a network platform to smoothly carry out this course. Personal insights on high-quality online teaching for inorganic chemistry are also discussed. Taken into consideration for online teaching and learning attributes, special screening background, scientific story and history, research frontiers, and interesting activities were incorporated to attract the attention of students in class. Study has found that these students performed very well in their two examinations, which confirmed that our established online platform and strategies are highly effective for teaching and learning.
