For Educators: How to include 3D models in your courses
3D content can enrich an organic chemistry lecture by a lot, making learning more engaging and easier. However, while the technology is available for many years now, it is barely employed in organic chemistry education. One reason is that despite the technology getting easier to use, creation of content and implementation is still a major hurdle.
At Chemistry in 3D, we aim to eliminate this hurdle, offering diverse solutions for incorporating 3D models into chemistry education:
- Using the Chemistry in 3D Digital Textbook: Our flagship offering, set for release in 2025, is a comprehensive digital textbook on organic chemistry. This premier resource is designed to be an all-encompassing tool for students and educators alike, featuring in-depth 3D models and extensive explanations to enhance the learning experience. Access can be individually purchased by students or through a site license by educators. For more details, please contact us.
- Custom Course Content: For educators using a Learning Management System (LMS) that supports HTML code embedding, like Moodle or Brightspace, our team offers a paid collaboration service. We can work directly with you to implement 3D models and create customized courses within your LMS. For pricing and more details, please contact us.
- Create Your Own Course Content: Through the 3Dify Chemistry project, we provide open-source models that can be seamlessly integrated into LMS platforms like Moodle or Brightspace. It's important to note that advanced models are exclusively available through the first two options, and we cannot offer support for this DIY approach.
The optimal time to start integrating these innovative 3D educational tools into your chemistry education curriculum is now! Embracing this technology can significantly enhance engagement and understanding in organic chemistry. Don't miss the opportunity to transform your teaching methods and provide your students with a captivating and effective learning experience.
