1. Open Notebook Science using Blogs and Wikis: Implications for Chemical Education Jean-Claude Bradley E-Learning Coordinator College of Arts and Sciences Drexel University April 17, 2007 The 7th Annual Leadership Initiative in Science Education (LISE 7) Chemical Heritage Foundation

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

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

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

5. New ways to deliver content: Screencasts on iTunes or on a video iPod

6. New Opportunities for Learning Catalysis Use class time for workshops and assign recorded lectures  Be present while students do problems, watch lectures, play games  Discuss extra credit assignment  Address technical implementation on their laptops  Small groups or one-on-one

7. Open and Closed Science Traditional Lab Notebook (unpublished) Traditional Journal Article Open Access Journal Article Open Notebook Science (full transparency) CLOSED OPEN Traditional Paper Textbook F2F lectures Lectures Notes public Assigned problems public Archived Lectures Public and free online textbooks RESEARCH TEACHING

9. Where is Science headed? WE ARE HERE

10. The Robot Scientist

11. How will this happen? Self-organizing redundant processes Fully Open Access (Read and Write) Publication of all aspects of the scientific process: Open Source Science / Open Notebook Science Using semantically rich formats and automation at zero publication cost – is this the way to the technological singularity?

12. How can machines know what is important? Ask the humans
