CHED: Course Curriculum & Laboratory Improvements

Opportunities and challenges associated with "improvements" that have been made to the way chemistry is taught at a particular institution. Papers may consider innovative societal, environmental, and technological changes that have been made with the intention of improving student learning. This might include, for example, the changes in philosophy about teaching, development of studio-laboratory environments, or the introduction of personal response systems; to name just a few.
