Project Duration

Nov 2005 - May 2009

Project Description

Physical chemistry has been arguably the most difficult and challenging subject for both teaching and learning in chemistry departments worldwide. The project therefore aimed to improve the curriculum and make it more program-specific for students from different departments or programmes by developing and implementing an integrated and multimedia-enhanced online study-station for physical chemistry for UG students majoring in chemistry and for other UG programmes that required physical chemistry in their curricula.

Project Outcome

• This project identified the learning difficulties in physical chemistry, proposed viable approaches for both teaching and learning to deal with the difficulties, and integrated these approaches into a multi-media enhanced on-line study platform.
• An integrated and multi-media-enhanced online study platform for Physical Chemistry courses for UG students was developed.
