Dr. Walters' High-Tech Teaching Highlighted in C&E News   Among the highlights of the 233rd national meeting of the American Chemical Society, was a series of talks focusing on the use of web based tools, including podcasts, vodcasts, tagging, really simple syndication (RSS), blogs, and wikis. A story on the session was published in the April 23rd edition of Chemical and Engineering News (Link: on-line article). In the article many of the important contributions from Dr. Walters' talk, "Wikis, podcasts and screencasts (oh my!) in undergraduate chemistry coursework and research," are featured. From the enthusiastic manner in which Dr. Walters' work was received, it appears likely that these teaching methods will be used by others, not only in NKU's Chemistry Department, but around the country. posted May 21, 2007 -KCR Other related links: 2007 ACS Meeting Highlights
