Some of the animations are designed to be used by chemistry instructors in presentations. These do not have directions or other information. Other animations are designed for students to use on their own or in group-work. Some of the animations and simulations have guided-inquiry tutorials to accompany them.The virtual labs, simulations and animations cover the following topics: Electrochemistry, REDOX transfers and titration, Gas Laws (Boyle's, Charles', Effusions), Thermohemistry, General Equilibria, Solutions (conductivity, colligative properties), Acid-Base Equilibria, Stoichiometry, Measurement, Kinetics, Organic Chemistry, periodic trends and chemical bonding, http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=83095 This Applet enables users to conduct the experimental titration of strong acid/strong base or weak acid/strong base for the determination of the molarity of the solutions. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=377060 This article suggests that educators consider meeting students where they are. Frustrated by students' lack of engagement in WebCT discussion forums, Schroeder and Greenbowe tried something else with an organic chemistry class: a course Facebook group. Although not all students joined the optional group, participation among those who did was far more dynamic than activity in the WebCT group.
