An online instructional database containing information on commonly used pieces of laboratory equipment was created. In order to make the database highly accessible and to promote its use, QR codes were utilized. The instructional materials were available anytime and accessed using QR codes located on the equipment itself and within undergraduate…

This paper presents a simplified approach for the application of material efficiency metrics to linear and convergent synthesis plans encountered in organic synthesis courses. Computations are facilitated and automated using intuitively designed Microsoft Excel spreadsheets without invoking abstract mathematical formulas. The merits of this…

Describes the main features of this database of visual information about the applications, properties, and the chemical reactivity of the elements. The benefits of using this multimedia program include increased safety, decreased material costs, reduced volume of disposal products, and decreased preparation and cleanup time. (DDR)

Discusses a visual database of information about chemical elements. Uses a single sided 12-inch, 30-minute, CAV-type videodisk. Contains a picture of almost every element in its stable form at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure. Can be used with the video controller from "KC? Discoverer." (MVL)
