The use of computational molecular modeling to enhance the teaching of chemical concepts is becoming commonplace. Incorporation of this technique into the curriculum, however, typically requires financial investment. This reality poses a problem for institutions where funding and associated resources are scarce and has a potential negative impact on student learning. To address this situation, a free, universally accessible web resource designed to make computational chemistry available to community colleges and similar institutions that lack sufficient resources or expertise to design their own computational modules is presented. The website enables students to view, manipulate, and analyze Gaussian 09 outputs of organic molecules in the front-end user interface WebMO. The associated exercises guide students through key concepts in understanding the structure, bonding, and reactivity of organic molecules. The website and exercises have been used at two different two-year institutions as part of their second-semester organic chemistry courses.

通过WebMO访问社区大学的计算化学

使用计算分子模型来增强化学概念的教学变得司空见惯。但是，将此技术结合到课程中通常需要资金投入。对于缺乏资金和相关资源并且对学生学习产生潜在负面影响的机构而言，这种现实提出了一个问题。为了解决这种情况，提出了一个免费的，可普遍访问的Web资源，该资源旨在使缺乏足够资源或专业知识来设计自己的计算模块的社区学院和类似机构可以使用计算化学。该网站使学生可以在前端用户界面WebMO中查看，操纵和分析高斯09有机分子的输出。相关的练习指导学生通过一些关键概念来理解有机分子的结构，键合和反应性。该网站和练习已在两个不同的两年制机构中用作其第二学期有机化学课程的一部分。
