This course covers cell biology, immunology, neurobiology, genomics, and molecular medicine. In addition to the video taped lectures there are audio mp3 versions of the lectures and pdfs of problem sets and exam questions, with answers. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=591436 5.12 is an introduction to organic chemistry, focusing primarily on the basic principles to understand the structure and reactivity of organic molecules. Emphasis is on substitution and elimination reactions and chemistry of the carbonyl group. The course also provides an introduction to the chemistry of aromatic compounds. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=591600 This intermediate organic chemistry course focuses on the methods used to identify the structure of organic molecules, advanced principles of organic stereochemistry, organic reaction mechanisms, and methods used for the synthesis of organic compounds. Additional special topics include illustrating the role of organic chemistry in biology, medicine, and industry. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=519781 This online course comes from the Open Learning Initiative (OLI) by Carnegie Mellon. “The course includes self-guiding materials and activities, and is ideal for independent learners, or instructors trying out this course package.”״A consistent theme in the course is the development of a fundamental understanding of the interactions of biological molecules from a thermodynamic and kinetic point of view. Accordingly, a quantitative analysis of biochemical interactions is emphasized throughout the entire course. An additional important feature of the course is the detailed exploration of the structure of biochemical molecules using Jmol, a widely used Java-based computer-graphics program.Overview•Structural features of proteins and nucleic acids.•Non-linear (allosteric) behavior of proteins.•Technological uses of immunogloblins.•Biochemical catalysts (enzymes).•Rational design of enzyme inhibitors and drugs.•Energy generating metabolic pathways and their regulation.•Production of proteins using modern recombinant DNA techniques״ http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=591625 An intensive survey of structure, reactions and synthesis of the main classes of organic compounds. Laboratory illustrates the preparation, purification and identification of organic compounds by classical and instrumental methods. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=671594 CHEM 216 builds on the experimental approach started in CHEM 211. Students participate in planning exactly what they are going to do in the laboratory by being given general goals and directions that have to be adapted to fit the specific project they will be working on. They use microscale equipment, which requires them to develop manual dexterity and care in working in the laboratory. They also evaluate the results of their experiments by checking for identity and purity using various chromatographic and spectroscopic methods.This course is part of the 2011-2013 MELO 3D project, supported by an LSA Instructional Technology Committee New Initiatives/New Infrastructure grant. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=671587 The Michigan Education through Learning Objects (MELO) project is a cross-disciplinary collaborative effort that has worked over the past three years to facilitate the integration of curriculum-based sequences of online learning objects (LOs) that complement classroom pedagogy in large enrollment gateway courses. MELO's goal is to enhance student learning, engagement, and persistence in college through the use of these learning objects. The materials represented in this collection are from the third year (MELO 3D) of the project. This award-winning project takes a unique approach to overcoming barriers to technology-enriched instruction by involving students (undergraduate and graduate) in addition to select faculty and staff from across different disciplines as key collaborators. By training select students and faculty to find, evaluate, adapt, create, and integrate LOs, the project facilitates the incorporation of high quality interdisciplinary and discipline-specific LOs into the curricula.The Open.Michigan collection serves as a central repository for materials created in association with the Michigan Education through Learning Objects project. The Materials tab contains training materials from the start of the projects, learning objects, survey instruments and conference abstracts from the project. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=519808 This online course comes from the Open Learning Initiative (OLI) by Carnegie Mellon. “The course includes self-guiding materials and activities, and is ideal for independent learners, or instructors trying out this course package.”״This course has two options for learning about equilibrium: •You can start with Module 2 and step through course pages that explain equilibrium concepts in context. •You can use the library (Module 5) to review concepts or find information on specific aspects of equilibrium.״״This course introduces 3 approaches that chemists use to think about chemical equilibrium systems. A qualitative strategy for reasoning about equilibrium is Le Chatelier's principle. Another way of thinking about equilibrium is to consider the progress of reaction. Finally, a quantitative approach allows chemists to determine specific concentrations of species in equilibrium systems.Each of these three ways of thinking about equilibrium systems focuses on different aspects of the same phenomenon. We use the hemoglobin scenario to demonstrate these three tools.״ http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=620059 This survey chemistry course is designed to introduce students to the world of chemistry. It examines chemistry from the ground up, exploring the basics of the atom and its behavior. These concepts are applied toward elucidating the chemical properties of matter and the changes and reactions that take place in all types of matter. This free course may be completed online at any time. See course site for detailed overview and learning outcomes. (Chemistry 101; Biology 105; Mechanical Engineering 004) http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=602762 This free and open online course in Chemistry was produced by the WA State Board for Community & Technical Colleges [http://sbctc.edu/].From consumer products to space-age technologies, chemistry affects our daily lives. In this course, students will learn the structure of matter and how it behaves under various conditions in order to better understand the chemical world. Designed for students with little or no chemistry background. Laboratory activities extend lecture concepts and introduce students to the experimental process. This course is designed for a face-to-face mode of instruction using online resources. Course content is divided into units. Each unit may include text readings, laboratory preparation, study questions, thought-provoking discussions, written assignments, learning activities, and group projects.This module is part of the Open Course Library, a collection of shareable course materials created for faculty to use in their classes.
