"The World of Chemistry: Selected Demonstrations and Animations, Part I" is a special issue of JCE: Software with a selection of demonstrations and animations taken from the video component of The World of Chemistry telecourse. The original series of video provides a new dimension to the teaching of chemistry by the extensive use of four main production elements: demonstrations, animation, interviews, and real-life stories. The video serves as the vehicle to transport the student upon alternate roads--avenues which cannot be explored otherwise from within the classroom situation.
