Abstract: MOOCs offer solutions to traditional constraints faced in chemistry experimental teaching, such as limited lab space, insufficient equipment, and rigid scheduling, However, challenges like underutilization, reluctance from students, and faculty unfamiliarity can undermine these efforts. To address these issues, the National Demonstration Center for Experimental Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Education (Beijing University of Chemical Technology) has explored how to effectively use MOOCs to enhance teaching quality. The team has established an extensive array of online experimental teaching resources, implemented a synergistic blended learning model, and developed both a faculty skill enhancement program and a comprehensive system for tracking and feedback on teaching quality. These initiatives have significantly improved educational effects.

Key words: Chemistry experiment teaching, Course construction, MOOCs
