As a non-tenure track visiting assistant professor at Rider University, I have the privilege of teaching a special topics course in organometallic chemistry. Since this is a brand new course at Rider, I had complete autonomy in the design and content of the course, and I decided to use IONiC VIPEr learning objects to form the skeletal framework of my syllabus. The result is that my students are benefitting from the combined expertise of the broad VIPEr online community of inorganic chemists. This presentation will focus on selected resources available on the ionicviper.org website and the strategies I employed in choosing specific learning objects for use in teaching undergraduate students some of the more advanced concepts of organometallic chemistry. My experience with individual learning objects and ideas for future development will also be discussed.
