Abstract. ChemLinks is a collaborative effort by over seventy active participants from twenty-four academic institutions to write, test, and disseminate topical modules to be used to teach chemistry in the first and second years of the college curriculum. Twenty-four modules are currently under development and an additional seven will be started this year. In this workshop the leaders discussed the plan and philosophy behind this project and presented components from two modules as examples.
