About ChemEd DL

The Chemical Education Digital Library (ChemEd DL) is a storehouse of tested digital resources for education in the chemical sciences. Our aim is to be the place on the Web where you can contribute, share, organize, and use high quality chemistry education materials.

Through collaborations with individuals and through our many communities, ChemEd DL strives to provide the best of what chemical education has to offer. Teachers and students are encouraged to find, use, classify, contribute, and evaluate ChemEd DL resources in support of teaching and learning. ChemEd DL resources are classified using a controlled vocabulary of keywords.

ChemEd DL’s foundation is our collaboration with the Journal of Chemical Education, the Education Division of the American Chemical Society, and the ChemCollective Project. Here, you will find resources for education that span the entire science of chemistry.

Community

The ChemEd DL provides an online chemistry education community that covers the entire spectrum of the chemical sciences. This large community is built upon smaller communities that are characterized according to their sub-discipline of the chemical sciences or by education level. We expect that communities will develop around areas of content in ChemEd DL, such as the periodic table or chemistry video, or around pedagogical methods, such as testing and assessment.
