Paper Abstract:
|
Mobile devices such as iPhone are omnipresent today. With their touch screen capabilities these devices are highly interactive and engaging and hence can be used as an effective learning tool. This paper describes a mobile application created as a learning tool for organic chemistry students. The learning needs of organic chemistry students studying functional groups were first identified, the existing learning applications were surveyed and then a functional prototype of the application was created using iOS SDK. Unlike existing chemistry applications, this application leverages the multi-touch feature of iPhone to teach organic chemistry fundamentals to students. |
