Abstract: Utilizing the LIGONG Smart Course Platform, our team has comprehensively restructured the inorganic chemistry teaching content, with the “Periodic Table” module serving as a representative case. We have systematically developed a blended online-offline teaching model for inorganic chemistry that embodies the “student-centered, teacher-guided” educational philosophy. By integrating intelligent learning tools such as DeepSeek and implementing diversified strategies—including baseline assessments, differentiated instruction, contextualized learning scenarios, curriculum-based ideological and political education, flipped classrooms, inquiry-based learning, data-driven analysis, problem-based learning, and research-informed teaching—we have conducted extensive teaching practice. This model aims to enhance students' self-directed learning capabilities, critical thinking, and teamwork skills while strengthening their proficiency in literature retrieval, academic communication, and practical innovation. Additionally, it incorporates research literacy training and ideological education to foster a rigorous, truth-seeking scientific attitude and a sense of social responsibility to serve the nation. Teaching practice demonstrates that this model effectively stimulates student interest, facilitates knowledge transfer, and promotes the development of comprehensive competencies.
