ConfChem online conference

It looks like I'll be presenting my work on teaching organic chemistry using blogs, wikis and games for ConfChem, an American Chemical Society run online conference. My presentation is during the June 23-29, 2006 week. The conference starts May 5, 2006.

Thanks very much to Bob Belford for accomodating me at the last minute!

Thanks for Egon Willighagen for the post!

Here is my abstract:

Expanding the role of the organic chemistry teacher through podcasting, screencasting, blogs, wikis and games, Jean-Claude Bradley (Drexel University)

Technology is enabling new ways to channel the relationship between teacher and student. The ability to provide an archive of recorded lectures in rich and convenient formats like screencasts, podcasts and vodcasts enable an instructor to explore additional means to integrate class material through activities such as games, blogs and conversation. This presentation will describe the implementation of such technologies in a university level organic chemistry class.
