EduChem VR

This is the famous DNA double helix. We took it and made a #VR rollercoaster. Go for a ride?! #gbgtech #STHLMTech #madewithunity #Cardboard

We humbly thank @ACSCOMP for their very kind donation. You too can support @EduChemVR in our mission to improve chemistry education - making it better and more interesting using virtual reality. Go here: educhem-vr.com/donation.html #VR #chemistry

We continue our quest to enhance cognitive chemistry learning, and at the same time, enhance students’ interest in chemistry. A short paper published in collaboration with chemistry researchers, chemistry education researchers and digitalisation researchers at Umeå University #VR

Interested in teaching spatial ability in organic chemistry? Then this might be something for you. #EdTech #VR #chemistry

@ghutchis We think they should be aware of 3D concepts like stereochemistry, molecular geometries, atom orbitals and reactions mechanisms. Let us know if you (and your students!) would like to try "Chemistry WebVR". It's free. educhem-vr.com/webVR/

1) What are computational concepts you think chem students should know when graduating? 2) What tools, websites, etc. do you currently use in teaching? 3) Are there tools you'd like to use but can't? 4) What are computational tools you *wish* existed to help teach chemistry?

Dear #compchem and #chemed folks.. I've been put in charge of refining our use of computational tools across the curriculum. I've done an internal survey, but I'm curious to get outside feedback. 1/n

@Goliger @SahlgrenskaSP @Augmentedrobot @sahlgrenska Thanks for the @EduChemVR shout-out @Augmentedrobot 🙏

Vem öppnar #parkannual på @SahlgrenskaSP - bland alla startups och storföretag? Jo, @Augmentedrobot från @Sahlgrenska såklart!

Interesting to learn from different uses of technology in teaching, e.g. demontrating three dimensionality of molecules in chemistry teaching. ⁦@evamarellolsson⁩ presenting in #digipedaday ⁦@projecthella60⁩

@hacp81 @PeONor @sean_t_barry We animate orbitals (and a bunch of other things) in VR. Let us know if you and your students would like to try it.

Our collaborators at @umeauniversitet presented progress in using VR and AR in organic chemistry education at #eurovariety2019 in Italy. Great to see that @EduChemVR Chemistry WebVR was highlighted. #EdTech #Chemistry #VR

CEO Jonas Boström invited to present "The Use of VR in Chemistry" at the National ACS meeting in San Diego next month. Aug 25 at 11:30am. Join in if you're there! #EdTech #VR #ACSCOMP @aframevr @DrBostrom

Exciting. Three talks in the first half. Going for the hattrick at the ACS National Meeting in San Diego next month. Hope to meet some of you there. #ACSMEDI #ACSCOMP #ACSCINF

@jennafranke You can experience ibuprofen and a few other racemic drugs in VR with this freemium app play.google.com/store/apps/det…

I just found out that the inactive R enantiomer of ibuprofen is converted to the desired S enantiomer in vivo and wow how convenient and cool! Does anyone know of other racemic drugs where this happens? #RealTimeChem

no age limit for VR + PDB + chimerax @EduChemVR @oculus @VSCHT

The second semester in our collaboration with Umeå University started with encouraging feedback "Most students were satisfied or very satisfied with today's workshop on orbitals. They thought it would be good to use it earlier in the education". So do we! : ) #edtech #chemistry

Great to see a peer-reviewed international scientific article investigating the use of an @EduChemVR app. AND that the students gave it high marks (5 out of 6)! #Chemistry #edtech

@DuttonChemistry Can it be a virtual experience? If so, consider trying our new "Water VR"? It's free, includes water molecules as solid, liquid and gas...and we need feedback :) microsoft.com/en-us/p/water-…

‘Can you talk to the grade 3 class about solids, liquids and gasses?’ ‘OK I guess’ ‘And it’s next week’ ‘OK’ 1 day later ‘We’ve got all the grade 3 classes and you’ve got an hour’ ‘well....’ 2 days before ‘We’re so excited. We also got the grade 2/3s and we’ve got you in the gym’

This was a truly awesome VR experience

Some helpful toolboxes in our October Issue! Read about the opportunities for expanding the synthetic toolbox of medicinal chemists and the RNA toolbox for cancer immunotherapy, as well as about the new therapies for Huntington disease. go.nature.com/2Rf4YsC

Kicking off the Life Track is Jonas Bostrom, Principal Scientist and Molecular Modeler @AstraZeneca talks about the grand purpose of treating diseases and using VR in chemistry #AWE2018
