Organic Chemistry at Binghamton University is a large lecture course with over 1000 students enrolled in a semester.  In an in-person lecture setting, the course utilizes in-class learning assistants to facilitate the material and collaborative discussions to evaluate student performance by showing their work and understanding of the concepts.  In our current required remote teaching mode, the effective use of technology in the classroom has been a key component to maintain student participation and satisfaction with the course.<br/>In this presentation, we will discuss the challenges faced with a large lecture course, and the strategies and technology we implemented to engage the students.  For the lecture, student response systems and learning assistants were utilized to benefit the student experience.  Collaborative group discussions were held via Zoom, used formative problem solving facilitated by teaching assistants and assessments submitted through Gradescope.  Online learning materials and LTIs were integrated to offer students course resources outside of normal working hours.  The survey results of student satisfaction with the use of technology in the course will be summarized.
