Institutional Experiment in Digital Learning

Across the sciences, certain key concepts have traditionally proven challenging for students at all levels. These concepts are typically taught in introductory classes, but faculty must review them repeatedly in advanced classes across the curriculum. The Chemistry Bridge project is one of the institutional experiments the MIT Council on Education Technology sponsored in 2011-2012 to integrate digital and online learning into MIT residential courses. One of the hopes was to encourage MIT departments to integrate these tools into their residential courses.

The Chemistry Bridge team developed self-paced modules to assist mastery of these key concepts outside the classroom setting. The modules can be used independently by students, or as a faculty tool to supplement instruction. More information can be found on the MITCET website.
