UCI has received a distance education innovation award today from the National University Technology Network (NUTN) for its OpenChem project at the NUTN conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico. OpenChem offers free and open access to the undergraduate chemistry curriculum at UC Irvine. You can view the OpenChem materials here.
“It is an honor to have UC Irvine recognized for its OpenChem project,” said Larry Cooperman, director of UCI’s OpenCourseWare Initative and president of the board of the OpenCourseWare Consortium. “By releasing the full path of study as OpenCourseWare, UCI contributes its world-class resources in chemistry to advance the study of on-demand STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) subjects.”
