How to Use These Programs
Chemistry Navigator can be used effectively in introductory chemistry classes as a visual demonstration aid, particularly when discussing structural chemistry and when images from the Periodic Table Videodisc are useful. In addition, students can use Chemistry Navigator as a reference from which to find information on individual elements that can be used when writing papers for chemistry courses. High School students who have been assigned to choose an element and write or report orally on it will find Chemistry Navigator an excellent resource. In cases where students can prepare multimedia papers and submit them electronically, Chemistry Navigator can serve as a source of information and images. Such uses in an educational environment are encouraged; however, users should remember that Chemistry Navigator and the images contained therein are copyrighted by the Division of Chemical Education, Inc. and may not be used for commercial enterprises or wide-scale dissemination without explicit permission.

Hardware and Software Requirements Chemistry Navigator requires an Apple Macintosh computer (Macintosh II or higher) with 4 MB RAM (at least 5 MB RAM is recommended), a hard disk drive (with 15 MB of free space, not including the space required for HyperCard), and an 800K or SuperDrive floppy disk drive to install the software. A color monitor is not strictly required but is highly recommended. HyperCard or HyperCard Player version 2.1 or later and System Software version 6.0.7 or later (System 7 is recommended) is required. To use Chemistry Navigator with the Periodic Table Videodisc requires a compatible Level III, CAV video laserdisc player with the proper cable connection. Supported players include the Pioneer LD-V2200, LD-V4200, LD-V4400, LD-V8000, and compatibles; Pioneer LD-V6000A series (LD-V6000A, LD-V6010A, and LD-V6020A); and Sony LDP-1200, LDP-1500, LDP-2000 series. Other video laserdisc players may be compatible with the computer commands used by one of the players listed above; these should also work, but it is essential that you check with your supplier for compatibility information before buying a videodisc player. A special cable will be required to connect a videodisc player to your computer; consult with your videodisc player supplier to obtain the proper cable. Chemistry Navigator is compatible with System 7. |
