Online Support and Online Assessment for Teaching and Learning Chemistry

About

In this chapter, examples of innovative approaches that use educational technology to support active learning in chemistry lectures, tutorials and laboratory sessions are considered. The scope of the chapter is limited to blended learning. The strengths and weaknesses of e-learning are examined and the options available for online assessment using electronic tests and e-portfolios are discussed. In addition to the literature references provided in the chapter, several examples of good practice involving the implementation of information and
communication technology for chemistry teaching in higher education are incorporated. A list of online resources for lecturers is also included.
