【简介】 This web is providing rich free detailed information of college chemistry curriculum, Interactive Multimedia, Reference Materials and Databases, Organic Question Bank, Evaluation Materials of modular materials and curriculum news.
The mission of the Modular CHEM Consortium program is: To develop new curricula, materials and methods which will enhance the appreciation and learning of science, especially chemistry, for every undergraduate student such that all college graduates will command the knowledge and skills necessary to permit continued learning, to lead productive lives, and to make informed decisions.
They are funded by the National Science Foundation to restructure the undergraduate chemistry curriculum and their work is including:
Developing and evaluating a modular approach to teaching chemistry in the first two years of the undergraduate curriculum. Modules of one to four weeks will present fundamental chemistry to students in the context of a real-world problem or application and will emphasize the links between chemistry and other disciplines.
Curriculum materials, including text, lab, and multimedia components suitable for students from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds and usable at a wide variety of undergraduate institutions, will be produced.
These materials will utilize current understanding of learning processes and the full spectrum of modern technologies and will fully involve students as participants in the learning process.
Teaching methods which emphasize active learning and new technologies will be supported, tested and promulgated.
