Most importantly, particular strategies are described in detail making it possible for others to take advantage of the learning experiences and enabling practitioners to adopt the practice best suited to their needs.

General tools for chemistry education range from tailored websites (including Web 2.0 interactive features), to enhancing the use of flipped classrooms, to the application of commercial packages in a coherent manner. Technology and Assessment Strategies for Improving Student Learning in Chemistry, (PDF) focuses on these aspects of using technology directly in teaching chemistry. One area of large interest in chemistry education is the role of the teaching laboratory and how best to improve laboratory learning. The use of animations, short videos, and best assessment practices are also included. The chapters in the ebook reflect the somewhat different teaching contexts of the countries in which the authors work.
