Computational Chemistry via the Internet in Australia
The CAUT-funded
Computational Chemistry
Project is an initiative of four Australian universities to develop
common resources for the teaching of computational chemistry and molecular
modelling, primarily through the World-Wide Web.
The broad aims of the project group include:
- Developing and sharing common teaching
resources
- Increasing the range and diversity of
computational chemistry topics taught
- Developing multimedia teaching tools
in a platform independent manner
- Using the web to reduce Australia's tyranny
of distance
- Making computational chemistry available through
unique teaching methods, exposing
students to increasingly important computer visualisation and
networking concepts
One of the primary aims of the project is to develop a series of teaching
modules in computational chemistry for use in
undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.
A range of more specialised undergraduate
courses are also being developed and brought
on-line in late 1995.
In addition to the development of teaching materials, a number of other
resources for computational chemistry and molecular modelling, including a
resource list of
related web-sites, are being assembled at the project's web site.
The CAUT computational chemistry project is a joint effort between:
