The World Wide Web recently launched a new interactive feedback system for the instructors, so that can better understanding about their students and their problems. The feedback, in combination with tailored lectures is expected to enhance student performance in the first semester of general chemistry.

Presents seven papers on computer applications in chemical education. Topics include current status and future of teaching with microcomputers, improving undergraduate experiments with online microcomputers, chemistry's mathematical models with computer simulations, computer uses in freshmen chemistry (tutorial-drill programs, laboratory…

Described are two interactive computer-assisted-instruction (CAI) programs that were developed for use in quantitative analysis and in general chemistry. The purpose of these modules is to help students learn to calculate the points along a titration curve for the titration of an acid with a strong base. (Author/DS)

Describes a personalized method of instruction being used in junior-level physical chemistry classes which uses computer-aided instruction (CAI) and computer-managed instruction (CMI). Claims this results in more instructor-student interaction, better use of classroom time, and better scores on standardized examinations. (TW)

Describes two approaches of assuring adequate student laboratory preparation by means of computerized, prelab quizzes. One, designed for the Apple microcomputer for introductory chemistry, is available on diskette from the authors. The other, for organic chemistry, is done on a time-shared system. Additional information on this program is…
