| Abstract |
|
The Iowa Chemistry Education Alliance is a consortium of four chemistry instructors from central Iowa high schools, several members of the Iowa State University faculty, and consultants from an Iowa Area Education Agency. The group was formed to develop a set of concept-oriented, problem-solving, multimedia curriculum modules that could be used collaboratively in a distance education environment. Students and teachers alike used IowaÕs statewide two-way interactive fiber optic system, the Iowa Communications Network (ICN). The ICN connects Iowa's three public universities, community colleges, most private colleges, and most high schools. There are more than 400 classrooms connected to the ICN. This report provides an overview of how modern technology is used to engage teachers and students in collaborative distance education.

| Chemistry Teacher Connection |
|
The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.
