Spelman College, a minority-serving institution, will implement course revision in General and Organic Chemistry through the National Science Foundation?s Historically Black Colleges and Universities-Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) Targeted Infusion Project funding opportunity. The project implements a ?blended learning? in first and second year chemistry courses to improve the retention of students selecting majors in this STEM field.The activities are designed to monitor and support student success while training students to engage in scientific thinking, master and apply scientific concepts, and transfer skills developed in the critical freshman and sophomore undergraduate years of STEM study. A blended learning format will be used for content delivery to include skill-building activities involving problem-solving sessions, team-based guided inquiry learning (e.g., POGIL, ChemDrills, case studies, computer modeling).This 36-month project includes assessment that involves use of pre-and post exams in both sequence courses and comprehensive evaluation focusing on long-term goals impacting student retention. National and international venues will be used for the dissemination of project outcomes as well as Spelman?s I-Tunes University and the universities website.

斯佩尔曼学院，一个为少数民族服务的机构，将通过国家科学基金会实施普通化学和有机化学课程的修订？历史上的黑人学院和大学本科生计划（HBCU-UP）有针对性的输液项目资助机会。 该项目实施了？混合学习？在第一年和第二年的化学课程，以提高学生选择在这个STEM领域的专业保留。这些活动的目的是监测和支持学生的成功，同时培养学生从事科学思维，掌握和应用科学概念，并转移技能，在关键的大一和大二的STEM研究本科年发展。 混合学习格式将用于内容交付，包括技能建设活动，包括解决问题的会议，基于团队的指导探究学习（例如，POGIL，ChemDrills，案例研究，计算机建模）。这个为期36个月的项目包括评估，涉及在两个序列课程和综合评估，侧重于影响学生保留的长期目标的前和后考试的使用。 国家和国际场地将用于传播项目成果以及斯派曼？s I-ESTA大学和大学的网站。
