HyperCard-Based Tutorials for Introductory Chemistry

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project will develop interactive computer-based tutorials at two levels of difficulty for 21 major topics in Introductory Chemistry. The tutorials, for use by individual students outside the classroom, will be produced using HyperCard, a powerful Macintosh program for organizing and interacting with information and images. HyperCard integrates high-quality graphics, sound, animation, and controlled test fields to allow production of sophisticated computer-assisted instructional software. Feedback on one such tutorial, "The Mole Concept", is sufficiently positive that we wish to generalize and extend the approach. Aids such as printed cards and lecture materials based on the HyperCard stack can be easily obtained, and the tutorials can be easily customized by individual instructors. The tutorials will be made available for the cost of materials and handling.
