The goal of this page is to organize and help share Leanne’s Open Education Resources in practical organic chemistry. Technology can be used to help prepare students for laboratory work by allowing them to perform “dry runs” of the experiments or viewing diagrams and animations to help them understand what is happening at the molecular level.
