Web-Based Learning tools for Organic Chemistry Jennifer Muzyka, Centre College 2014 BCCE
To Learn, retrieve • “To be most effective, retrieval must be repeated again and again, in spaced out sessions so that the recall, rather than becoming a mindless recitation, requires some cognitive effort.” • Peter C. Brown, Henry L. Roediger III, Mark A. McDaniel • Make it Stick
Reaction zoo • http://chemserv.centre.edu/muzyka/reactionzoo/
Starburst layout • Missing product • Missing reagent • Synthesis, missing reagent • Synthesis, missing starting material
Traditional layout • Product missing • Reagent missing • Synthesis, reagent missing • Synthesis, starting missing • Synthesis, product missing
Database & Details • >600 molecules • ~1200 reactions • PHP / MySQL • SMILES • JavaScript
Spectral Zoo • http://chemserv.centre.edu/muzyka/spectralzoo/
Database Details • 78 unknowns, all with IR and 1H NMR • Some also have 13C NMR • IR from NIST database (gas phase) • NMR mostly from Widener University
