Mobile learning applications are being developed to support the teaching and learning process. The lack of an accepted methodology for developing these applications motivated the establishment of a design science research process for developing mobile learning applications. Design science methodology from the information systems domain was…

Potential energy diagrams have been central tools for chemistry teaching and research for over 50 years. We present an application, EveRplot, which is accessible by web browser (including mobile devices) and can be used to create energy versus reaction coordinate plots quickly and easily. Through three case studies, we illustrate the use of the…
