了解立体化学是至关重要的学生旨在成为未来的化学家，分子生物学家，药剂师，药理学家或医生。立体化学的重点是研究具有相同分子式但仅在其原子的空间取向上不同的立体异构体，从而导致不同的物理，化学或生物学性质。因此，空间思维能力对学生理解立体异构体是必不可少的。增强现实有助于增强3D分子的空间感知。StereoChem是我们用于可视化增强3D分子模型的移动的应用程序，它利用增强现实的这一优势来帮助立体化学的教学和学习。本文简要介绍了学习立体化学的意义和挑战。它描述了被认为是鼓励化学教师和学生无处不在地使用我们的应用程序的设计输入，然后讨论了StereoChem应用程序的开发和它可以使用的教学环境。最后，介绍了对50名化学教师进行的用户体验研究。
Understanding stereochemistry is of critical importance for students aiming to be future chemists, molecular biologists, pharmacists, pharmacologists or physicians. Stereochemistry focuses on the study of the stereoisomers which have the same molecular formula but differ only in the spatial orientation of their atoms resulting in different physical, chemical or biological properties. Hence spatial thinking skill is essential for students to interpret stereoisomers. Augmented reality helps enhance the spatial perception of 3D molecules. StereoChem, our mobile app for visualizing augmented 3D molecular models harnesses this advantage of augmented reality to aid teaching and learning of stereochemistry. This paper gives a brief introduction to the significance and challenges of learning stereochemistry. It describes the design inputs that were considered for encouraging the ubiquitous use of our app by chemistry teachers and students, then discusses the development of the StereoChem app and the teaching-learning contexts in which it can be used. Finally, it gives an account of the user experience study done with 50 chemistry teachers.
