CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE ANAHEIM ACS MEETlNG (SPRING, 1999)
Harry E. Pence
SUNY-Oneonta
The following symposium is co-sponsored by the Divisions of Chemical Education and Computers, as well as the Committee on Computers in Chemical Education. It was not included in the early listing of symposia under the Chemical Education Division, but Dr. Parrill has asked me to indicate that she would be delighted to receive abstracts from readers of this Newsletter and other chemical educators. Please notice that, because the primary sponsor is the ComputerDivision, the deadline for submitting abstracts is Nov. 18, 1998, rather than the announced deadline for the Division of Chemical Education.
USING COMPUTERS TO FACILITATE LEARNING
This symposium will include two half-day sessions on the use of computers in chemical education. One session will include talks that discuss new computer based learning tools for students and some evaluation of their impact on students. Talks appropriate for this first session may discuss hypermedia learning tools, intelligent tutoring tools or many other possible types of learning tools. The second session will include talks that discuss computerized tools that facilitate learning activities (which may or may not actually take place at a computer). Talks appropriate for this session may describe communication tools that facilitate collabora· live learning, scheduling tools that allow faculty to include writing assignments in large classes, or tools designed to help faculty develop course content and/printer active materials to be delivered by computer. Please send abstracts to Abby L. Parrill, Department of Chemistry, University of Memphis, Memphis. TN 38152
by November 18th, 1998. Send electronic submissions toaparrill@memphis.edu.
