VizChem - Visualizing Chemistry

正在设计适合本科生化学课程和实验室课程的多媒体计算机模块。这些模块以内容和技能为导向，跨学科和多维度，并充分利用模拟、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创造的，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版本的IR Tutor，以及适用和重要的光谱分析和诊断设备，如电子吸收(UV-VIS)和电子发射(荧光和磷光)；质子和碳-13核磁共振(NMR)；原子吸收(AA)；热分析；聚合物化学和材料科学的主题；以及聚合酶链式反应技术。该项目的次要目标包括：(1)扩大化学课程的范围，使之超越传统学科的界限；(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)按班级提高成绩。

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.
