My sister, Janice, got a great mention in C&E News! She is a professor at Central Michigan University in Chemistry. Her studies and research are in Chemistry Education. She had a great discussion with the reporter from C&E News, and was able to let her know that Online Chemistry Education is still very much a growing resource for students and teachers alike. Online teaching is clearly growing, i.e., news from Janice’s Alma-Mater (University of Illinois for her B.S.), mentioned in the same article, is considering no longer offering IRL (in real life) classes for their undergraduate organic chemistry courses.
Here’s the link to the article:
Prof. Tomasik has developed an 8-week online course for High-School and Middle-School teachers to incorporate NanoTechnology into their curricula: http://chemed.chem.wisc.edu/moodle (This work was completed in her doctoral program at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.)
