The cumulative nature of organic chemistry makes it imperative that students develop a solid foundation in the early material. This material builds upon concepts of molecular structure, charge distribution, resonance, thermodynamics, intermolecular forces and acids and bases from general chemistry. The transition into new material usually involves higher order visualization and analysis of organic molecules to describe their reactivity and physical and spectroscopic properties. The incorporation of iSpartan for the iOS platform into organic chemistry provides opportunities for students to have a more interactive introduction to the material. The specific modules that have been developed are easily adaptable to a variety of environments. Analysis of assessment data supports students being receptive to the utilization of tablet and mobile technology to enhance the lectures and development of foundational knowledge.

Utilizing iSpartan as a tool for the visualization of foundational organic chemistry knowledge?
