(John Moore)

NT has prepared a variety of computer-based tools (chart - NT computer Tools) to facilitate student-focused active learning and we are using them at several institutions.

(display of scrolling web page Mathcad for Physical Chemistry ) More than 30 Mathcad interactive texts encourage students to explore and experiment with the mathematical models of physical chemistry. These are available via the World Wide Web. (Also see Theresa Zielinski's Mathcad materials.)

(display of scrolling web pages from ChemScape ) Multimedia pre-lab tutorials on laboratory techniques allow teaching assistants to concentrate on helping their students connect concepts with hands-on work. These are also available via the World Wide Web.

(showing students at work in a lab) Students at several NT institutions use computers in the laboratory to collect and analyze data and facilitate group work.

(student) Yea, I'd like to see more of it, you know, it gives you hands-on experience with new technology
