Engaging Organic Chemistry Students Using ChemDraw for iPad
Morsch, Layne A.; Lewis, Michael
Journal of Chemical Education, v92 n8 p1402-1405 Aug 2015
Drawing structures, mechanisms, and syntheses is a vital part of success in organic chemistry courses. ChemDraw for iPad has been used to increase classroom experiences in the preparation of high quality chemical drawings. The embedded Flick-to-Share allows for simple, real-time exchange of ChemDraw documents. ChemDraw for iPad also allows documents to be readily shared with students via e-mail directly from the program. ChemDraw for iPad increased engagement and enhanced interactions between students and instructors in organic chemistry classes.
