The document discusses various open education tools for use in chemistry courses, including screencasting lectures, wikis, open notebook science, and games. It provides examples of these tools being used, such as recording lectures, organizing course content on wikis, making research data and lab notebooks publicly available, and games for learning chemistry concepts. Student response to these tools is also discussed, with most students finding value in access to recorded lectures and using wikis for assignments, and appreciation for rapid feedback and learning documentation skills through open notebooks.

1. Open Education in Chemistry Research and Classroom Jean-Claude Bradley E-Learning Coordinator College of Arts and Sciences Associate Professor of Chemistry Drexel University January 11, 2011 Philadelphia University of the Sciences

3. So many tools … so little time blogs free online textbooks recorded lectures (e.g. podcasts, screencasts, videos) wikis CMS (e.g. Blackboard) free course content (e.g. OpenCourseWare) clickers games virtual worlds (e.g. Second Life)

5. Screencasting: easy solution for recording lectures

6. CHEM 241 89 students CHEM 243 64 students Student Response to Screencasting: Attendance

8. Best use of Class Time Mainly repeating lectures Mainly workshops One-on-one mentoring Doing problems Games

9. Wikis A wiki is a website that allows the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser using a simplified markup language or a WYSIWYG text editor.
