Using an RSS feed in a Chemistry class
Harry Pence | 27 September, 2006 10:19
This semester I will be trying various approaches to apply social networking to my chemistry classes. In each case i will try to start from a problem that I perceive, and then propose a social solution to this problem.
I will begin with my senior seminar class for chemistry majors. The problem that I perceive is that they are not accustomed to following the chemical literature. I could require that they visit the library and read journals on a regular basis, but this has not been very successful in the past. The library is "out of their way' and "inconvenient." The solution I decided to attempt was to have each student set up an RSS feed connected to several ACS journals as well as C&E News. Perhaps if an abstract of journal articles appears on their computer, they will be more likely to at least read the abstract, and perhaps even follow up by finding the article in the journal. (More)
