- Chemistry Concepts in Second Life - Bradley/Lang
(3mb)
Sun, 24 Aug 2008 12:53:54 -0500 Author: bradlejc@drexel.edu (Jean-Claude Bradley)
This is a co-presentation by Jean-Claude Bradley and Andrew Lang on August 18, 2008 at the American Chemical Society conference in Philadelphia. The focus is on many of the tools available to easily demonstrate chemistry concepts in Second Life such as 3D molecules, reaction mechanisms, docking, organic chemistry quizzes, 5D graphs, the ACS museum featuring an HIV exhibit, the red tide phenomenon and many others. Most of the content on display rests on ACS island, Drexel Island and Nature's Second Nature island in Second Life.

This is a presentation by Jean-Claude Bradley at the Biennial Conference for Chemical Education (BCCE) on July 29, 2008. The talk starts with an overview of Open Notebook Science using a wiki as a public lab notebook. An example of the usefulness of publishing failed experiments is detailed, showing how the version history of the wiki can be used to track the evolution of an organic chemistry experiment. Near the end of the talk an example of using automation to optimize a Ugi reaction is mentioned.

Presentation at 2:00 Friday November 2, 2007
Disque 109, Drexel University
The modern biochemistry or molecular biology laboratory generates large quantities of data that are generally stored across multiple computers attached to multiple instruments. Much of this data is never published and the majority languishes on old computers and is ultimately lost. At a local level this is a frustration for investigators who will often struggle to obtain specific pieces of data produced in their own laboratory. On a larger scale this is becoming a much more serious issue with the obligation of researchers to funding bodies to both preserve research data and make it available to other users increasingly becoming a formal a condition of publicly funded grants. Systems are required that can capture and preserve data along with sufficient information and metadata to make it possible for others to use this data.
In parallel with this a movement is growing within the research community that advocates greater openness in providing both the raw data from published studies as well as making available the large quantities of data that are never published. The logical extreme of this approach is Open Notebook Science [1], pioneered at Drexel University [2], where the researcher?s laboratory notebook is made available on the internet as it is recorded. Achieving the aims of Open Notebook Science also requires systems which can capture data and provide it in a useful format. In addition these systems must make the data visible to relevant online searches.
We are developing and using an electronic laboratory notebook based on a Blog format to capture experimental data in a biochemistry laboratory [3,4]. Within the system each sample is recorded in a single post. Analysis and manipulations of the sample are recorded in separate posts with links back to the input sample and forward to any products. All the information is made immediately available on the Web as it is recorded. The Blog engine has been specially built in house and has a number of features designed to enable and encourage the effective capture of data and metadata in the environment of a biochemistry laboratory. I will describe the Blog system and our evolving approach to capturing metadata as well as the process of integrating this with other web services to provide an open environment for recording work in the laboratory, laboratory materials, and validated procedures. The challenges and problems encountered in reconciling the twin aims of capturing data and making it available and readable will also be discussed along with the similarities and differences emerging between different approaches to Open Notebook Science [2,5,6].

Here is my talk "Open Notebook Science using Blogs and Wikis" at the American Chemical Society meeting in Chicago on March 27, 2007 at the Communicating Chemistry Symposium.
The first half is basically a condensed summary of how we are using UsefulChem to do Open Science. I then demonstrate for the first time Dave's Excel code to compute kinetics from JCAMP NMR reaction profiles and the building in Second Life where Beth and Eloise have help me to set up a poster room with NMR spectra, molecules and an organic chemistry quiz.

Where is technology most effective: inside or outside of the classroom?
Dan King, Drexel University
transcript
Philadelphia Area Educational Technology Conference Feb 23, 2007
At Drexel University, environmental chemistry is taught to a diverse group of students in a single class. The student population includes both upper level undergraduates and beginning graduate students from a variety of majors. The preparation level of these populations is quite variable, as many of the graduate students have not had a chemistry course in several years. Consequently, a significant amount of time must be spent reviewing fundamental chemical concepts. These general concepts are either incorporated into the lecture material or reviewed in group activities. Two forms of technology were used to improve student learning. In class, personal response systems (or ?clickers?) were used to reinforce the lecture material. Outside of class, students use an online discussion board to post questions related to homework problems. The Student Assessment of Learning Gains (SALG) survey was used to help identify which components of the course helped the students learn the material. These results will be compared to end-of-term evaluations and measures of student performance during the term.

Towards Preparing Educators for Multiliteracy
Tim McGee, Philadelphia University
transcript
Philadelphia Area Educational Technology Conference Feb 23, 2007
The teaching of print literacy, traditionally understood as the ability to read and write texts made primarily out of words, was the responsibility of all teachers at the elementary level and the specialty of English, Language Arts, and Composition teachers in middle school, high school, and college. With the advent of digital computers and the multiliteracy demands they create, some teachers at every level find themselves ill-prepared to teach even the decoding of multimedia and multimodal texts, much less their encoding or production. Taking into consideration state standards, teacher education programs, and current theories of multiliteracy and multimodal discourse, this presentation suggests short and long term action plans to help prepare the teachers of today and tomorrow to meet the multiliteracy needs of their students.
