Objectives. The research task of this study is to analyze and interpret how online e-learning materi-als focusing on the ideation and design of crafts are suitable for primary school craft education and its planning. Applicability is assessed by examining how the selected e-learning materials support the different stages of the planning process, meet the curriculum requirements, and by assessing the pedagogical quality of the selected e-learning materials. The theory section introduces the concept of holistic craft process and, in particular, the activation, ideation and design phases as part of this process. Pedagogical models of teaching and learning crafts affect the interpretation of the results. The quality criteria produced for the production and quality assessment of e-learning materials were modified to meet the expectations set by teachers for the learning material and the special needs of craft education. These modified criteria were used in the study of the pedagogical quality of the material Methods. In this master’s thesis I studied the e-learning materials available online related to the ide-ation and design of crafts. The on-line resources selected for study were Punomo, Työkaluja käsityön suunnitteluun and Kisälli 1–6, produced by SanomaPro. From these resources, I analyzed all content directly related to ideation and design, as well as assignments where the assignment in-volved elements of ideation and planning. There were a total of 211 pages or assignments to be studied. The pages were analyzed with the help of content analysis and using an analysis framework formed through theory and familiarization with the material. Results and conclusions. For the first and second stages of a holistic craft process, activation and ideation, the pages provided quite scant support. Instead, a lot of material and tasks were found for aesthetic and technical design. Very few pages had content pertaining materialization. The assign-ments also encouraged mainly independent work. Although the pages otherwise implemented the requirements of the curriculum, the use of ideas and diverse experiences and sources of inspiration remained insufficient for the requirements of the curriculum. The e-learning material found online was mainly of excellent pedagogical quality. The content was easy to use and is helpful for teachers in planning lessons.
