[email protected] Netorials is a collection of about 30 online tutorials on general chemistry topics. The Netorials have been designed as a supplement for high school or college introductory chemistry courses. Each Netorial contains several pages of interactive instruction that includes animated mouse-overs, questions for students to answer, and manipulable molecular structures. Each
Netorial ends with a “debriefing” section requiring students to answer questions about the content they have just studied. Because Netorials are consistent in appearance and functionality, students can go from one to another easily without learning a new interface. Topics included in the JCE Web Software Netorials are listed below.
