Main Goals …• Develop evidence based reasoning in students• Foster independent (not “algorithmic”)
understanding – encourage “playful” exploration• “Modernize” critical topics (ie – early introduction
to spectroscopy and quantum)• Expose students to primary literature (when
appropriate)

Design Features of Applets• Conceptually “clean” focus• Intended for both conceptual and quantitative
applications• Many are embedded within a “suite” of ancillary
materials but can be operated as stand-alone digital resources
• Flash based – cross platform and deployed on Android and iOS mobile platforms
