A New Quality ofa Chemical Education System Based on the WorldWideWeb Thomas Engel Computer-Chemie-Centrum University of Erlangen-Nuremberg 91052 Erlangen, Germany http://www2.chemie.uni-erlangen.de
10 % • advanced studies of chemistry • 4 semesters • Diploma Chemist degree • basic studies in chemistry • 4 semesters Studying Chemistry in Germany ~ 2.000 graduates research scientists + 6-10 semesters to Ph.D. • postgraduate studies • 6 + n semesters • research-oriented • Ph.D. 10-14 semesters to Diploma Chemist(average time of study: 11 semesters) • advanced studies of chemistry • 4 semesters • Diploma Chemist degree
research- • oriented • M.Sc. degree • basic studies in chemistry • 6 semesters, B.Sc. degree GDCh: “Würzburger Model” research scientists • postgraduate studies • 4 + n semesters • Ph.D. vocational experience vocational experience additional non- chemical studies (law, economics, journalism, ...) • studies in specialized fields • of chemistry • 4 semesters, practice-oriented • M.Sc. degree • research- • oriented • M.Sc. degree
Aims of the Würzburger Model • standardization of European chemical education • permeability of boundaries in the fields of study • decrease the time of studying • quick integration of new topics • utilization of the latest information for education • increasing the quality of education
new technology teacher Communication problem EMPLOY-MENT student lab courses Increasing information other students periodicals Transmitting Information
Flexibility through networks • interactive lecture systems • multimedia studies and exercises • visualization and simulation of complex contexts • learning trajectories (knowledge modules)
Aims of the VS-C Project • oriented to the Würzburger Model • development of interactive, multimedia • teaching material • networking of the different topics in Chemistry • by the material • individual organization of the knowledge modules • (learning trajectory)
