VizChem - Visualizing Chemistry

设计适合本科化学讲座和实验课程的多媒体计算机模块。这些模块既以内容为导向，又以技能为导向，是跨学科的、多维的，充分利用了仿真、计算和可视化的优势。它们是作为教师和学生的工具而设计和制作的，主要针对普通化学、有机化学、物理化学、无机化学和材料科学。模块主题将包括下一个版本的红外导师，以及适用的和重要的光谱和诊断设备，如电子吸收（紫外-可见）和电子发射（荧光和磷光）；质子和碳-13核磁共振；原子吸收；热分析;高分子化学和材料科学主题；PCR技术。该项目的次要目标包括(1)拓宽化学课程，超越传统的学科界限；(2)开设新的本科课程；(3)提高助教的效率；(4)扩大博士后在本科教育中的作用；(5)提高班级学生的表现。

Multimedia computer modules suitable for undergraduate chemistry lecture and laboratory courses are being designed. The modules are both content and skills oriented, interdisciplinary and multidimensional, and take full advantage of the benefits of simulation, computation, and visualization. They are being designed and created as tools for the teacher and for the student, and are primarily directed at general chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and materials science. Module topics will include the next version of IR Tutor, and applicable and important spectroscopies and diagnostic devices such as electronic absorption (UV-Vis) and electronic emission (fluorescence and phosphorescence); proton and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR); atomic absorption (AA); thermal analysis; topics in polymer chemistry and materials science; and PCR technology. Secondary objectives of the project include (1) a broadening of the chemistry curriculum beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries, (2) new undergraduate courses, (3) enhanced effectiveness of teaching assistants, (4) an expanded role for post-doctoral students in undergraduate education, and (5) improved performance by classes of students.
