Summary/Abstract: This paper presents describes a logical and pedagogically effective sequence of topics and methods for teaching by using the web, components of a course website, and the structure of the instructional process. The didactic design of an e-learning environment should provide an effective interface between the learner, the learning material and learning activities. The article proposes a typology according to which six categories of e-learning activities in natural sciences are distinguished: assimilation, reproduction, application, generation, communication and reflection of knowledge. The typology can be used as a source for writing new e-learning material in scientific fields, but also as a tool for evaluating and profiling existing learning material. Paper advocates in favour of the process of autonomous learning by using visual capabilities of the computers. Principles of the contemporary cognitive learning theory are considered.
