The ChemWiki is “designed to maintain all Modules (pages of chemistry information) in the primary sections” for the core classes in Chemistry. There is also a link to Wikitexts, which contains classes put together by faculty who select which modules to include. As with any wiki, the materials are continually being updated, but in reviewed by peers. "Analytical chemistry spans nearly all areas of chemistry but involves the development of tools and methods to measure physical properties of substances and apply those techniques to the identification of their presence (qualitative analysis) and quantitation of the amount present (quantitative analysis) of species in a wide variety of settings.״ http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=411364 The ChemWiki project is a new approach toward chemistry education where an Open Access textbook environment is constantly being written and re-written partly by students and partly by faculty members resulting in a free Chemistry textbook to supplement or supplant conventional paper-based books. Anyone can view, although a freely available account is required to edit the site modules. The UCD ChemWiki was created and is currently directed by Prof. Delmar Larsen in the Chemistry department at UC Davis.
