Abstract. The workshop "Technology and Assessment in Chemistry" discussed a University of California at Los Angeles based and National Science Foundation funded project that is heavily invested in new instructional technology. Issues related to the convergence of technology and student learning and assessment were examined. The workshop was run by Bob Kozma of the Stanford Research Institute. Kozma first outlined the goals of the UCLA project entitled the "Molecular Science Project" developed by Arlene Russell and Orville Chapman. Unlike other curriculum-reform projects, assessment is an integral part of the innovation. Kozma proceeded to describe his efforts to develop new assessment tools.
