Arizona State University (ASU) and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), in partnership with OpenStax, are developing a general chemistry courseware called REAL CHEM. This courseware is designed to attain equitable student outcomes, particularly for students from historically underrepresented backgrounds. The project is funded with a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
In this webinar, we'll provide a demonstration of the General Chemistry I courseware. We'll also:
- Show how REAL CHEM aligns with OpenStax's free, openly licensed chemistry textbook and makes the curriculum relevant to students
- Demonstrate how this open-source platform provides extensive active learning opportunities grounded in evidence-based learning science
- Highlight the platform’s contextualized learning opportunities, instructional videos, in-class activities, and homework replacement activities
Under the grant, we'll offer attendees a stipend to pilot REAL CHEM in their spring, summer, or fall 2024 course. We also have co-development and institutional funding opportunities. Collaborate with our 10+ partner institutions and shape the world’s best chemistry course!
Join us on Friday, November 17th, at 1:00 pm CST. Register today!
