CoChemEx
2007
This project was conducted in 2007 together with colleagues at Universities of Freiburg (Dr. Nikol Rummel) and Eichstädt (Prof. Andreas Harrer), and the DFKI (Dr. Bruce McLaren). It was funded from the Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center. We tested the hypothesis that a computer-supported collaborative learning system can help students improve their conceptual understanding of chemistry. Our goal was to help students actively process the material they encounter, moving them away from the mechanical, algorithmic approach taken by many chemistry students.
