The transition to online teaching, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has become a reality for all education systems worldwide. It has raised the need to better understand different web-based online environments and the pedagogy of using them. This chapter describes how the different learning environments presented here transform the way students learn chemistry and how teachers teach it. The chapters in this section highlight the high potential of digital technology in supporting a more inclusive approach to teaching chemistry. However, these examples also emphasize the important role of the teacher in personalizing the learning process toward more inclusive chemistry teaching.
