Chemistry video
tutorials for
independent study or classroom projection are now being created at
chemVideos to replace the earlier collection here of Adobe Director
interactive
teaching units which depended on the now discontinued Adobe Shockwave
platform.
Although not as
interactive as the
old Shockwave units, the new videos can still be paused and/or stepped
back in time to prior screens using the movie slider control.
Explanatory material, rather
than in audio scripts as before, will instead
be shown as
text on screen in the new videos.
Teachers
interested in animated
computer graphics for student use or classroom presentations to
illustrate dynamic processes, complex 3D structure or relationships,
and the microscopc molecular view of matter are welcome to contact the
author (email: woodmandj@aol.com) for more information about
the
videos or to make suggestions for improvements or
for possible new topics to cover.
Chem Videos still has descriptions of the entire old
Shockwave
collection to provide some information about the topics that will be
ccvered in the new video series, even though the old units can
no longer be played by internet browsers.
Only the first of the new videos (Haworth
Formulas) is available so far in chemVideos
and
provides an initial sample of the video format.being developed.
However, that video doesn't include molecular or
orbital
graphics common in the old units. To get a better flavor of
what
the typical graphics look like, a few very preliminary short
videos, which were published several years ago on YouTube, can be
viewed as
summarized below.
