3. INTRODUCTION OF ICT
• Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is take one a important
role in education.
• ICT in education is the mode of education that use information and
communications technology to support, enhance, and optimize the delivery of
information.
• A report made by the National Institute
of Multimedia Education in Japan,
proved that an increase in the use of ICT
in education with integrating technology
to the curriculum has a significant and
positive impact on student’s
achievements.

4. WHY ICT IS IMPORTANT?
Enhancing learning experiences and providing new sets of
skills
Reaching more students with Massive Open Online
Courses(MOOCs)
Facilitating the training of faculties
Minimizing costs and saving time associated with information
delivery and automating regular day-to-day tasks
Improving the administration of institutions to enhance the
quality and efficiency of service delivery.

5. ROLE OF ICT IN CHEMISTRY
Learning management systems and interactive communication
platforms that can be applied to any field, and modes that are more
specific to chemistry, and that offer unique contributions to the field of
chemistry education.
These include visualization of molecular structures, sophisticated
computations that help explore chemical phenomena and the means to
store, retrieve, and manipulate data for both simple as well as large-scale
analysis.
It is important that chemistry instructors at all levels will become familiar
with chemical databases, learn how to work with them, and develop
strategies to transfer this knowledge to their students.

6. FIVE MODES OF ICT INTO CHEMISTRY
TEACHING
• Branches 1 and 2 on the right are general technological tools for
education.
• Branches 3, 4, 5 on the left are specifically important for Chemistry.
TCP PRESENTO 2020, THIAGARAJAR COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS, MADURAI.

7. LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (LMS) such as Moodle, in
which technology provides the infrastructure for delivering the course
materials and communicating with the students.
EXAMPLES: Moodle, Chamilo, Open edX,
Totara Learn and Canvas are the top 5 Open-
Source Learning Management Systems
(LMS).
Other examples: Adobe Captivate Prime,
Docebo, SAP Litmos LMS, LearnUpon LMS,
Asentia LMS, Mindflash, iSpring Learn,
Talent LMS, Looop, 360Learning
Engagement Platform, Coassemble,
CoreAchieve, Skillcast LMS, EduMe, Agylia.

8. INTERACTIVE COMMUNICATION means such as clickers, wiki
platforms, Facebook, and others in which technology is used to create
interactions between the teachers and students, or between learners, in both
face-to-face and online classes.
EXAMPLES: Twiddla, Google
Drive, Bubbl.us, Edmodo, Yammer,
Skype, Vyew, Wikispaces, Facebook,
Google Hangouts, Cacoo, Titanpad,
HaikuLearning, Twitter, Minecraft,
Economic-games, World of Warcraft,
Bounceapp, Wiggio, SocialFolders.me

9. VISUALIZATION TOOLS for presenting
molecular structures and creating interactive
simulations of chemical processes (e. g., virtual
laboratories).
EXAMPLES: There are various approaches
used to that make interactive molecules
available to students via a Web browser. These
include RasMol, a helper application, the
Chemscape Chime browser plug-in, and the
Jmol java applet.
TCP PRESENTO 2020, THIAGARAJAR COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS, MADURAI.

10. CHEMICAL DATABASES of compounds, their properties and
reactivity, on the one hand, and professional dictionaries and
encyclopedias, on the other hand.
EXAMPLES: SciFinder, Reaxys, Encyclopedia Britannica, WebElements,
Chemicool, NNDC-chart of nuclides, ChemSpider, PubChem, RCSB-PDB,
PDB-101, Molecule of the Month, Cambridge Structural Database, WebCSD,
The NIST Chemistry WebBook, IUPAC Gold book.
ONLINE COMPUTATIONAL TOOLS, e. g., for molecular modeling and
for calculating chemical descriptors.
EXAMPLES: ChemAxon, Forgev10, Chemical Computing Group,
LigandScout, StarDrop, Vortex, FAME,

15. TO BE ABLE TO USE ICT IN THE COURSES
EFFECTIVELY, TEACHERS SHOULD
• Be aware of its potential,
• Select tools and methods which are appropriate with the
needs of students,
• Design their teaching methods effectively,
• Develop new teaching strategies,
• Know and apply classroom management rules in order to
cope with problems encountered in technology-aided learning
environments

16. CONCLUSION
• The main impact of ICT in education can be seen in improving the
capabilities of instructors, changing the educational structure, creating
opportunities for greater and more comprehensive learning, enhancing
educational quality and improving teaching skills.
• Open data, open access and open content might drive collaboration,
specialization and increased transparency, but the consequences are not fully
understood.
• The technological advancements have already penetrated into the chemical
sciences and are expected to increase their influence in the future.
• However, there is still much work to be done in order to bring them to
chemistry classes.
