There are many Chemistry 1 resources on-line. These do not replace lectures but aim to support your learning in chemistry. All of the University Access Centres provide free access to the Chemistry web applications via the University intranet.
You may also access all the Chemistry material from a home computer if you have internet access.
For technical advice about computers and about eLearning, contact the University's IT student support help desk via their webpage or by phone on 9351 6000.

iChemA collection of apps, tutorial and formative quizzes built by us to cover topics in the First Year Chemistry course. These include video tutorials, chemical calculators and 3D simulations of molecules and solids. Some need the full screen of a desktop or laptop and others are designed to work on a smart phone or tablet screen. Some of the resources use the "Flash" plugin. If you have problems installing this free plugin or enabling it on your computer, consult the Adobe help pages where you can find instructions for every common browser and operating system. Note that "Flash" does not run on mobile operating system.. |
ChemCALA series of computer aided learning modules is available on-line, designed to cover most topics in the First Year Chemistry course. Each module consists of a series of screens containing information, animations and self-help questions. The modules are for formative assessment and no question responses are recorded. They provide feedback on your understanding and should be used for self-assessment. ChemCAL may be accessed via eLearning or our chemistry unit resource page and it provides a useful private study tool. If you are accessing ChemCAL from a home computer you may need to run the ChemCAL set up program to ensure the correct plug-ins are available. If you have problems using ChemCAL on your Mac, please try these solutions. |
