Molecules
JCE Featured Molecules collects interactive
images linked to molecular structures or other
graphic images from articles in our print Journal.
Many articles in the Journal
of Chemical Education include molecular structures—naturally
in a two-dimensional representation. This is a
collection of interactive structures chosen
from some of these molecules. While many such Web-based
structure collections exist, having the structures
in a single location and linked to specific articles
in JCE (and vice versa) will benefit both
teachers and students. In addition to static images,
two fully manipulable versions (Jmol, MDLChime)
of these molecules are generally available.
JCE ChemInfo
JCE ChemInfo contains online chemical
information resources for teachers, researchers,
and students.
JCE Data-Driven Exercises
JCE Data-Driven Exercises is a collection of such ‘data-driven’ chemistry exercises. Assignments are arranged by topical area and include (1) a description of the goals, prerequisites and resources that will be needed to complete the assignment, (2) a brief theoretical description of the phenomena of interest and an explanation (or illustration) of the experiment that generated the experimental data, (3) the raw data, and (4) a suggested protocol of data analysis and questions that should be addressed.
JCE DigiDemos is the Web-based
version of the Journal of Chemical Education's Tested
Demonstration feature. DigiDemos are delivered
in the form of an online discussion forum to promote
discussion about the demonstrations. Demonstrations
that appear in the Journal will
also appear here. Previous demonstrations,
including many from the Gilbert/Alyea collection,
will be added gradually.
JCE LivTexts
The JCE LivTexts collection affords
instructors of chemistry a coherent and organized
body of materials that can be easily incorporated
into the classroom and disseminated to students.
The collection is also for those who need
to learn topics in chemistry independently as background
for their work in other fields of science such
as biology, geology, etc. JCE LivTexts
items cover a particular area of
chemistry with much the same breadth and scope
as a textbook, but include interactivity
and moving media to help students explore the
topic.
JCE LrnCom
JCE LrnComOnline feature promotes creation,
dissemination, and utilization of well-crafted
online instructional modules that span the chemistry
curriculum. Online modules are multi-week projects
that engage students in learning experiences that
cut across traditional institutional or disciplinary
boundaries.
JCE QBank
collects questions for examinations, quizzes, homework,
and other assessments. Groups of questions
can be downloaded and delivered either via pencil-and-paper
assessments, or via course-management systems such
as WebCT.
JCE SymMath is a collection of Mathcad®,
Mathematica®, Maple®, or MATLAB® documents
designed to help students learn mathematically
intensive aspects of chemistry. JCE SymMath
provides peer-reviewed, exemplar examples
of using computer algebra systems in chemistry.
JCE WebWare features tools for students and
instructors that can be used in the computer room
and the student’s
dorm room or home as well as in the classroom and
laboratory. These tools may include Java applets,
static and dynamic HTML pages, Flash and QuickTime
movies, virtual reality (VRML) applications, other
animations, applications that can be used over the
Internet with helper programs such as Excel, and
small standalone programs. |
