The Interactive Online Network of Inorganic Chemists (IONiC) has grown from a small group of faculty to a national and international network focused on improving inorganicChemistry learning. IONiC’s vision is to create a community of teachers and learners who make teaching visible using social networking tools to share, discuss, test, and assess their teaching methods. The features that have allowed the IONiC community to develop and grow and IONiC’s vision for the future are described. It is likely that the lessons learned apply to other groups seeking to develop professional communities through social networking.

To facilitate the effective sharing of teaching tools among faculty and the development of deep subject knowledge in support of teaching, a group of faculty from predominantly undergraduate institutions has established a virtual community of inorganic chemists, IONiC (Interactive Online Network of Inorganic Chemists). Our mission is to enhance the inorganicChemistry classroom and laboratory experience for students and faculty members through the development of a vibrant, collaborative, and open community. VIPEr, the Virtual Inorganic Pedagogical Electronic Resource, is a Web site that forms the online home for our community. VIPEr is an interactive Web resource that combines a repository of …


Polymorphism In Myristoylpalmitoylphosphatidylcholine., Stephanie Tristram-Nagle, Yisrael Isaacson, Yulia Lyatskaya, Yufeng Liu, Kay Brummond, John Katsaras, John Nagle Aug 2014

Polymorphism In Myristoylpalmitoylphosphatidylcholine., Stephanie Tristram-Nagle, Yisrael Isaacson, Yulia Lyatskaya, Yufeng Liu, Kay Brummond, John Katsaras, John Nagle

Prof. Stephanie Tristram-Nagle Ph.D.

This study focuses on the mixed-chain lipid myristoylpalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (MPPC) near full hydration. The lipid, synthesized according to the procedure of (Mason et al., 1981a, has a low degree of acyl chain migration. When MPPC is temperature-jumped (T-jumped) from the L alpha phase (T = 38 degrees C) to T = 20 degrees C or below, a subgel phase forms; this formation takes less than 1 h at a temperature below T = 12 degrees C. The subgel remains stable up to T = 29 degrees C. When MPPC is T-jumped from the L alpha phase to T = 24 degrees …


Collaborative Chemical Information Literacy: Is It "Scholarly?", Barbara C. Harvey Aug 2014

Collaborative Chemical Information Literacy: Is It "Scholarly?", Barbara C. Harvey

Barbara C. Harvey

This symposium illustrates a collaborative classroom activity that incorporates information literacy into an introductory chemistry course. The primary learning outcomes of the activity are to understand the peer-review process, knowing how to locate original research articles based on “clues” in a general news article, and how to differentiate between popular and scholarly periodicals. Students work in small groups in a highly-collaborative classroom setting. Each group is given a recent chemistry-related news item, and must determine how and where to find the original research article the news item is based on. Emphasis is placed on identifying original, peer-reviewed research publications. Each …
