In partnership with McGraw Hill Education, PerkinElmer will conduct a pilot across several undergraduate organic chemistry classes testing the use of iPads, ChemDraw, Chem3D and a new cloud-based collaboration service. The pilot will test the effectiveness of tablet-based learning at the undergraduate level. Working closely with professors and students, PerkinElmer will adapt ChemDraw and other current software for the learning platforms and techniques of tomorrow. McGraw Hill, as a leading company in the education software industry, will work closely with participating professors to analyze the success of the pilot (versus previous classes) and make recommendations on future steps.The pilot will take place over the 2013 summer session with results being compiled in August and presented publically for the first time at the 246th ACS National Meeting.
