Green chemistry and sustainability have garnered more awareness in the chemical industry in recent years, but green chemistry classes are still not commonplace for either the undergraduate or graduate student curriculum. Additionally, many departments are seeking avenues to reach greater numbers and types of learners through online courses. To address both needs, a small group of chemistry graduate students set out to design a 3-credit-hour upper-level online green chemistry course targeted at students most likely to apply green chemistry concepts in their future careers. The goals for the course included education in the basics of green chemistry (history, metrics, methodologies) along with opportunities to apply what they have learned and communicate it to a general audience. This process of developing modules and assessments for the discovery and application of green chemistry principles has enabled a supplementary education for the graduate students as well. Herein, the specific motivations of the graduate students to design the course, how green chemistry was presented to students in an online format, and how students responded to this type of class are provided.

研究生的设计与交付：绿色化学与可持续性本科生在线高级课程

近年来，绿色化学和可持续性在化学工业中获得了越来越多的关注，但是无论是本科生还是研究生课程，绿色化学课程仍然并不普遍。此外，许多部门都在寻求途径，通过在线课程来吸引更多数量和类型的学习者。为了满足这两个需求，一小组化学研究生开始着手设计一个3学时的高级在线绿色化学课程，针对最有可能在其未来职业中应用绿色化学概念的学生。该课程的目标包括以绿色化学基础知识（历史，指标，方法论）进行教育，以及将所学知识应用到普通大众中并进行交流的机会。为发现和应用绿色化学原理而开发模块和评估的过程也为研究生提供了补充教育。在此，提供了研究生设计课程的具体动机，如何以在线形式向学生介绍绿色化学以及学生如何响应此类课程。
