A novel website, Organic Web, for teaching and learning orgnic chemistry is presented.  Organic Web is an interactive concept-map interface  that allows students to see the �big picture� while also making detailed information accessible through a series of �clicks.�  The web-like structure of the Internet allows for a much more logical presentation of the subject matter of organic chemistry (which is itself web-like) than is possible with traditional textbooks.  Textbooks are linear in structure, by design, and promote memorization or surface learning of the material, which rarely leads to success.
