  1. The Use of Web Technology in Chemistry Education - a European Perspective - Jetse C. Reijenga

  2. A notebook computer for every student at TU/e

  3. Why a notebook project? • Educational innovation • Using up-to-date professional software tools • Need for personal management of (digital) knowledge • Independence of time and place • Learning by doing: ICT-exploration

  4. Facilities required • service en support • functionality is guaranteed • Insurance • warranty and maintenance • dial-in facilities at local rate • free internet access • free e-mail account, home-page • all necessary software licences • printing facilities

  5. Financial conditions • student pays fl. 2000 (first 2 years fl. 2500) • a loan is possible (with no interest) • the TU/e pays fl 2500,= • possibility to sell the computer back to the University in case of premature end of study • TU/e has 1500 new students each year……………….. $€£!!!

  6. Fujitsu, type Lifebook C6175 Processor Celeron 500 MHz Screen 14.1" TFT color, 1024x768 Harddisk 6 Gb Memory 192 Mb CD-Rom 24 speed built-in Floppy-drive 3.5” built-in Video 4 Mb Sound 16 bits built-in, SoundBlasterPro Weight 3,0 Kg Modem 56K6 built-in Ethernetcard 10/100 built-in

  7. Web based campus info system Our Chemistry website

  8. Standard web items • educational goals • lecture schedules • interactive tests • diagnostic tests • internet resources • groupware applications • example exams

  9. Useful databases for experimental work

  10. Simulations during lectures and practicals

  11. Student web pages as a result of a practical course

  12. Notebook to replace strip chart recorder

  13. Measuring in chemical engineering practical courses

  14. Communication • submission of reports and feedback • joint 20 MB web for exp. results (with e.g. F2S.COM) • closed threaded discussion website • virtual 50 MB drive on internet (e.g. FreeDrive) • e-mail • chat (e.g. ICQ) • internet telephony (e.g. DialPad) • web cam (e.g. Netmeeting) • video conferencing (dual ISDN)

  15. ICQ and e-mail during individual research project in Milan

  16. Multidisciplinary group, cooperating with Singapore students • Mechanical Engineering • Chemical Engineering & Chemistry • Applied Physics

  17. Conclusions • Many educational innovations were initiated • Campus wide introd. of professional software tools • http:// and @ broaden our horizon for cooperation • Simulations used for visualization • The library is (also) a virtual one • The same applies to the laboratory • There are no borders for information exchange
