| The Future of General Chemistry Texts in the Internet Age (Invited and Contributed Speakers) | |||
| Access to on-line resources, to on-line homework, and to other multimedia resources has changed and altered the market for general chemistry textbooks and how authors write them. This symposium will present ideas on where authors and publishers see the future of general chemistry textbooks heading based on multimedia resources, on our current understanding of how students learn chemistry, and on how our students and their majors are changing. | |||
