Lit Review

For the past 30 years, computer technologies have greatly improved chemical education through visualization, simulation, data collection, and remote instrumentation. The Journal of Chemical Education has reviewed these uses of computers in classrooms and labs. Advances in computing power, cost, software for 3D modeling and visualization, online textbooks, blogs, wikis, and podcasts have helped integrate computers into chemical education.

For the last thirty years computer-aided technologies have contributed tremendously to the quality and effectiveness of chemical

education. The Journal of Chemical Education hosted a series of articles reviewing the use and roles of computers in the chemical classroom or laboratory: visualization, simulation, data collection, remote operations of instrumentation, etc (J. Chem. Educ. 2004, 81, 18141816; J Chem Educ. 2006, 83, 501-507, and others). The continuous improvement in computing power and availability (cost), the development of new software packages (3D modelling and visualization tools such as ACD Labs etc) , web-based applications (open-source online textbooks) and services (blogs, wikis, podcasts) have successfully contributed to the integration of computers in chemical education.
