This Communication summarizes one of the invited papers to the Select 2016 BCCE Presentations ACS CHED Committee on Computers in Chemical Education online ConfChem held from October 30 to November 22, 2016. The ConfChem paper (included within Supporting Information) focuses on the results of one instructor’s incorporation of social media into her classroom and her teaching life as both a communication tool and a method for building a community of learners among students. The instructor implemented multivariate statistical analyses to determine the correlational relationship between students’ social media usage and their performance shown by their earned grade on a 40-question final exam similar to the ACS Exams Institute First Semester General Chemistry exam. Initial findings indicated no statistically significant change in pass rate or persistence between models in introductory General Chemistry I classes; however, the potential for a significant difference between models exists in next level (General Chemistry II) and future classes. In all classes analyzed, the instructor observed the generation of a stronger community of learners among her students.

ConfChem会议（2016年精选BCCE演讲）：激进的觉醒—使用社交媒体的新教学范式

本交流总结了2016年10月30日至11月22日在ConfChem网上举行的Select 2016 BCCE Presentations ACS CHED计算机教育化学计算机委员会的邀请论文之一。ConfChem论文（包括在“支持信息”中）着重于一位教师的研究成果。将社交媒体整合到她的教室和她的教学生活中，既是一种交流工具，又是一种在学生中建立学习者社区的方法。讲师实施了多变量统计分析，以确定学生的社交媒体使用量和他们的表现之间的相关关系，这些结果取决于他们在与ACS考试学院第一学期普通化学考试相似的40个问题的期末考试中所获得的成绩。初步发现表明，在通用化学I类入门课程中，模型之间的通过率或持久性没有统计学上的显着变化；但是，在下一级别（通用化学II）和以后的课程中，存在模型之间重大差异的可能性。在所分析的所有课程中，讲师观察到她的学生中形成了更强大的学习者社区。
