Abstract. "Examples in Modular Chemistry" explored a technology-based program for undergraduate chemistry instruction developed at the University of California at Los Angeles. This workshop was run by the program’s developers: Arlene Russell and Orville Chapman. The main focus was to give hands-on experience to participants and involved working through two sample exercises as a student would. The first dealt with molecular modeling of an aldol condensation, and the second explored the structure of crystalline solids.
