SLiThEr video and topic requests

Submitted by Kyle Grice / DePaul University on Tue, 07/14/2020 - 13:16

Hi All,

Our first SLiThEr (Supporting Learning with Interactive Teaching: a Hosted, Engaging, Roundtable) was a success. The topic was teaching lab online with little prep time.

If you didn't get to attend here's the link to the recorded video.

Also, there is an upcoming SLiTher scheduled for this thursday. It will be about teaching a traditional lecture course online and we hope you can come join the discussion! 

Here's the registration link

Web cams for online teaching and lab

Submitted by Tom Clayton / Knox College on Thu, 03/19/2020 - 11:58

I'm looking for reccomendations for affordable and versatile web cams that would capture verything from written text on a whiteboard to color and phase changes in an Ehrlenmeyer flask.  Suggestions for products that have worked for you would be very much appreciated as I gear up fast for an entire online Inorganic Chemistry experience.   Thanks!

Interactive Virtual labs anyone?

Submitted by Anna Larsen / Ithaca College on Mon, 03/16/2020 - 15:17

Greetings!

With everyone going to forced online teaching - 

Does anyone know of a good free source for *interactive* virtual labs for intro organic chemistry?  Such as soap synthesis? Phenacetine synthesis?

Also - good video for those labs would be very helpful....

Does Anyone have experience with Labster? 

Thank you so much.

Online / Virtual Coordination Chemistry Lab

Submitted by Beth Morton / University of Portland on Sun, 03/15/2020 - 13:36

Hi all!

 

My university (University of Portland) is going to online teaching, likely for the remainder of the semester (though they haven't said that). I am wondering if any of you have good resources for an online or virtual coordination chemistry lab. I have seen a lot of great worksheets and activities that would work well for lecture, but I am hoping to find something for students that would be more like a lab. Perhaps a simulation that involves changing ligands and seeing how that affects UV-vis spectra? I appreciate any suggestions, resources, etc!

Hi 

 

SUNY will be converted to online eductation due to CONVID-19.  Any one here have experience teaching inorganic chemistry online? Any resouces  and tools you can share will be highly appreaciated.

Open Education Resources (OER)

Submitted by Jesse Tye / Ball State University on Tue, 11/05/2019 - 10:27

I am interested in what Open Educational Resources are available for teaching undergraduate general chemistry courses.  It seems like the concensus from a few years ago was that OpenStax + Sapling online homework was the only viable options for large classes.

What new textbook and/or homework resources am I missing?

Has anyone used Canvas successfully for online homework?
