現代化學教育利用文字、實物、圖像、聲音等多種媒體向學生傳遞資訊，並以各種媒體軟硬體如：電腦、電視、錄影、投影、幻燈等為標誌，輔以傳統的教學媒體及實驗多層次教學方法，而隨著資訊科技快速發展，現代資訊技術必將在化學教學中發揮更大的作用。利用現代資訊技術，使一些在課堂上難以釐清之化學概念、複雜的化學反應形成過程、生活中的實際問題能利用圖片、動畫等清楚地展示出來，以整合聽覺、視覺增強學生的學習興趣，進而提高了教師教學及學生學習效率。

The practice of chemistry has become strongly dependent on computing and muti-media technologies. There is no doubt that the revolution in computing and information technology during the past decades has changed the chemical education and research world. In contrast, the typical chemistry educator, rather than being on the cutting edge of those developments, has been slow to incorporate new computer-based or muti-media ideas in curriculum, teaching methodologies, and educational materials. In this article discusses these points in the context of the historical evolution of computer and miti-media usage in chemical education, key influences of the computing aids teaching skills, muti-media technologies in modern computer- oriented chemical education.
