In the Chemical Education Digital Library (ChemEd DL), we have created ChemPRIME, an online wiki text that develops the concepts of a general chemistry course in logical progression, and ChemPaths, an online resource that allows an instructor to select content from ChemPRIME and present it to students in whatever order the instructor wants. We have used ChemPRIME/ChemPaths to supplement in-class POGIL activities, to provide exemplars for a non-science-majors, pre-nursing course, to aid the teaching of dimensional analysis, and to develop a lesson on intermolecular forces and properties of liquids. These applications and evaluation studies of them will be reported. The authors gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the NSF (DUE 1156433 and 1044239) for this project.
