Teaching with Technology
Delivering a Chemistry Course over the Internet

Abstract
A tuition-based course in small scale chemistry activities for high school laboratories aimed at high school chemistry teachers was offered over the Internet during the spring semester, 1995. A CD-ROM with descriptions of activities and movies served as the text for the course. The content was divided into seven modules. While most of the students responded well to the course, only half completed the course for a grade. Communications during the course were maintained using email and a listserv. All of the electronic communications and interviews with the instructor and over half of the students served as the basis for a qualitative research study. The various positive and negative factors related to teaching and taking a course in this format are described.
