http://drexel-coas-elearning.blogspot.com/2008/08/happy-accidents-must-read-for-open.html
Comment-link {margin-left:.6em;}. Tuesday, August 26, 2008. Happy Accidents: A Must-Read for Open Scientists. I usually limit my book reviews to Goodreads. But this one deserves much more attention. In Happy Accidents: Serendipity in Modern Medical Breakthroughs; When Scientists Find What They're NOT Looking for. Morton Meyers reviews examples of the unpredictability of scientific progress. And starting on page 304:. The peer review system forces investigators to work on problems others think are importa...

Drexel CoAS E-Learning: Web based Spectra Game
http://drexel-coas-elearning.blogspot.com/2009/02/web-based-spectra-game.html
Comment-link {margin-left:.6em;}. Saturday, February 14, 2009. Web based Spectra Game. Yesterday I used the NMR game in Second Life. During our 2-hour Friday workshop in CHEM242. We used a new location on Drexel island SLURL. However, there is a bit of a learning curve to get into Second Life and not all computers have a suitable video card. So it is nice to now have the ability to play the game on a web browser. Andy set up the game play so that the score reflects the number of correct answers obtained ...

Drexel CoAS E-Learning: Spring 2009 term post-mortem of CHEM 241 orgo course
http://drexel-coas-elearning.blogspot.com/2009/06/spring-2009-term-post-mortem-of-chem.html
Comment-link {margin-left:.6em;}. Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Spring 2009 term post-mortem of CHEM 241 orgo course. Another term at Drexel is over. Following my previous post-mortem analysis for the winter 09 term. Here are some thoughts about how things went teaching CHEM241. 1) My Second Life extra credit assignment. And 3 more on FriendFeed. Leveraging the code that he used for the Spectral Game. Andrew Lang created a web version of the quizzes that I have used in Second Life and Unreal Tournament.

Drexel CoAS E-Learning: Winter 09 term post-mortem: SpectralGame implementation
http://drexel-coas-elearning.blogspot.com/2009/03/winter-09-term-post-mortem-spectralgame.html
Comment-link {margin-left:.6em;}. Wednesday, March 25, 2009. Winter 09 term post-mortem: SpectralGame implementation. Our winter term at Drexel just ended. Following up on my previous post-mortem analysis. Here are some observations from having taught Organic Chemistry II ( CHEM242. 1) The big news of the term is that I had a chance to try out the SpectralGame. In my class for the first time (mainly to teach NMR). Andrew Lang first created the game in Second Life. 2) I usually provide a small (2%) extra ...

Drexel CoAS E-Learning: VLC saves the day - iTunes RIP
http://drexel-coas-elearning.blogspot.com/2010/01/vlc-saves-day-itunes-rip.html
Comment-link {margin-left:.6em;}. Wednesday, January 06, 2010. VLC saves the day - iTunes RIP. My first organic chemistry class ( CHEM242. Took place on Monday. That was the introductory lecture where I explained how my online-optional class works. The fundamental building blocks of this course are my recorded lectures. I was expecting the worst at this morning's workshop when a student suggested using VLC. Not only did it work but I could swear the resolution was far better than when viewing on iTunes.

chem241 transcripts: Lecture 035: alkynes
http://chem241transcripts.blogspot.com/2006/05/lecture-035-alkynes.html
Transcript of Organic Chemistry I at Drexel University. Instructor: Jean-Claude Bradley. Monday, May 22, 2006. Okay, so you don't have a numbering system here because there's no other place a double bond could be, same thing with three carbons. There's only one place that I can have a triple bond, so there I would have propyne. I wouldn't have to use a numbering system. Let's take a look at that. Same alkyne, palladium on barium sulfate and quinoline. This mixture is also called Lindlar's catalys...Let m...

Transcript of Organic Chemistry I at Drexel University. Instructor: Jean-Claude Bradley. Monday, May 22, 2006. Lecture 023: Alkyl Halides 3. Lecture 023: Alkyl Halides 3. We have one part from chapter six left to do, which involves some of the rules with respect to minor and major products of elimination reactions so let's do one compound which encapsulates a lot of the concepts we've been working with. Is there another hydrogen in that molecule that we can do? The one over here? The most highly branched...

This one right here? Ok, the SO. All right, so I'm starting off with HN3. What is the charge of the central atom in HN3? Now, we have another three bonds to put in a hydrogen so if I notice where else I can put the next two bonds, I pretty much have to do that. Therefore the only place I could logically pu...

I'll start off with some questions that were requested for the test. I think these are all quiz questions. How can we tell? If it's the same molecule I have to be able to rotate 180 degrees and can I do that and superimpose these two? Three, right. Part of the process you have to go through is after you draw everything, you need to dete...
