Resumen de Organic Chemistry Online:: Building Collaborative Learning Communities through Electronic Communication Tools

Melissa J. Poole, Rainer E. Glaser

• In this article, we report on the use of group research projects in an undergraduate course in organic chemistry to build small learning communities. Students engaged in group research projects via online resources and developed reports that were published online. They also worked together in groups to review the online reports of their peers. This work was facilitated by use of electronic media, including the course Web site, email, and an electronic discussion list.
