Marvin JS goes to College…Drawing tool for MasteringChemistry
Annual Meeting 2016
Marvin JS in Mastering Chemistry
A user friendly tool for quick and
convenient drawing of chemical structures
and mechanisms
Student benefits:
• New user friendly interface
• Faster load times
• No JAVA!
Annual Meeting 2016
The Power of Mastering
Using specific evaluators, authors
can write targeted feedback geared
toward specific student answers
Annual Meeting 2016
The Power of Mastering
Feedback can also be authored for
more general criteria
And there is also system
generated feedback for basic
drawing issues
Annual Meeting 2016
Marvin JS in WebAssign
WebAssign enables instructors to write their own questions with Marvin JS embedded
Randomization is fully supported through MRV and SMILES
Questions can ask students to complete a structure, correct a structure, or create one from scratch
WebAssign with Marvin JS enables authors to compose questions on specific concepts
See the following examples for:
Hund’s Rule
Kekule's Model
Applied Mass Spectrometry
Stepwise Reaction Mechanisms
WebAssign makes significant use of Marvin JS
Over 230 questions in General Chemistry original WebAssign content
Over 60% of questions for a typical Organic Chemistry text
Embedded step-wise tutorials to walk students through multi-step mechanisms and reaction
processes
Annual Meeting 2016
Example Question 1: Hund’s
Rule
• Displaying instructor view• Showing Answer Key
• Hund’s Rule compliant
answer keys are
supported
Annual Meeting 2016
Example Question 2:
Kekule's model
• Starting point template is
provided to the student• Narrows the focus of the
student to the specific concept
in question
• Multiple possible correct
answers can be graded• Answer key display controlled
by instructor: never, after
assignment closes, etc…
Annual Meeting 2016
• Probes students’
understanding of
advanced concepts• Ionization and fragmentation
• Special microtutorials for
Marvin JS “how-to”• Links embedded in the question
• Instructors can enable/disable
Example Question 3: Applied
Mass Spectrometry

Marvin JS in Concept Mastery • over 25,000 pre-built questions
into pools (100-400 questions
per pool) based on a specific
concept (SN2, SN1, Diels-Alder,
Wittig…
• Students have to draw the
product of a reaction or draw a
structure with the provided name
• one attempt per question/answer
is provided
• Real strength: students draw like
they will do during a test AND
this is also autogradable
“Marvin JS integrated with our editing
software to make this an easy and
seamless process”
Annual Meeting 2016
Marvin JS in Reaction Explorer
• 100,000 reaction flash cards with
accompanying mechanism and synthesis
questions
• students need to draw the correct electron flow
arrows on pre-populated reactants to show the
mechanism of the reaction
• Marvin JS allows (and requires) the students to
show regiochemistry of mechanisms through
the use of dotted lines in electron flow arrows
• in this database, students do not need to draw
the product since the software will predict/draw
the product based on the electron flow arrows
that the student has drawn.
“Marvin JS is great for these type of
questions”
Annual Meeting 2016
Marvin JS in End of Chapter/ Testbank
• Marvin JS for all types of drawing questions
(over 10,000)
• one specific type (multi-step mechanisms),
students need to draw the electron flow arrows,
reaction arrow, products, lone pairs, formula
• “Because of the flexibility of Marvin JS and our
various databases, we are able to give
students multiple ways of practicing reactions,
mechanism and synthesis, which are all
required for organic chemistry but now can be
done in an online, autogradable format”
“Marvin JS works great for these
and all our drawing problems”

Marvin JS in SmartWork5
- online homework
system
- available for class test
by 2nd quarter of 2016
- student view prior to
answer entry
- view with a student

Effective teaching tool
Annual Meeting 2016
From classrooms to real life jobs…
Marvin JS and Marvin Live has been
used in the industry by scientists to easily:
- Draw molecules
- Draw reactions
- Design new molecules
- Plan synthetic reactions
- Brainstorm ideas….
- Communicate between different
sites & with collaborators and
