Using Second Life to Teach Chemistry Jean-Claude Bradley E-Learning Coordinator College of Arts and Sciences Associate Professor of Chemistry Drexel University April 7, 2008 American Chemical Society Meeting Symposium on Using Social Networking Tools to Teach Chemistry

What is the role of a chemistry teacher? Produce chemists!

What is a chemist? An individual who is –Chemically literate (undergrad) –Competent to create new useful chemical knowledge (graduate)

How do chemistry teachers produce chemists? Select and deliver content Assess and validate skills and knowledge Catalyze the learning process

Evolution of Content Delivery 1.Face to face lectures/ paper handouts 2.Face to face lectures/ online pdfs 3.Optional screencast of lectures 4.Audio podcasting (iTunes)/ pdfs 5.Blog about class content 6.Video podcasting (iTunes) 7.Wiki for class organization 8.Youtube/ Google video 9.Google co-op and free online textbooks 10.All class recordings in one zip archive

View vodcasts on iTunes or on a video iPod

CHEM students CHEM students Natural migration from F2F to screencast/podcast channels

Evolution of Assessment 1.Manual grading 2.Optional WebCT quizzes with automated grading 3.All tests and exam with automated grading under video surveillance proctoring 4.Extra Credit Blog and Wiki assignments 5.Quizzes as mazes in Unreal Tournament 6.Quizzes in Second Life 7.Student assignments in Second Life

Evolution of Learning catalysis 1.Office hours and 2.Use class time for workshops and assign recorded lectures  Be present while students do problems, watch lectures, play games, use Second Life  Discuss extra credit assignment on Second Life  Address technical implementation on their laptops  Small groups or one-on-one
