Chemistry Concepts in Second Life Jean-Claude Bradley E-Learning Coordinator College of Arts and Sciences Associate Professor of Chemistry Drexel University August 18, 2008 American Chemical Society Andrew Lang Professor of Mathematics Oral Roberts University
This is a co-presentation by Jean-Claude Bradley and Andrew Lang on August 18, 2008 at the ACS conference in Philadelphia. The focus is on many of the tools available to easily demonstrate chemistry concepts in Second Life such as 3D molecules, reaction mechanisms, docking, organic chemistry quizzes, 5D graphs, the ACS museum featuring an HIV exhibit, the red tide phenomenon and many others. Most of the content on display rests on ACS island, Drexel Island and Nature's Second Nature island in Second Life.
