putting chemistry into the hands of students – chemistry made mobile using resources from the...
DESCRIPTION
The increasing prevalence of mobile devices offers the opportunity to provide chemistry students with easy access to a multitude of resources. As a publisher the RSC provides a myriad of content to chemists including an online database of over 26 million chemical compounds, tools for learning spectroscopy and access to scientific literature and other educational materials. This presentation will provide an overview of our efforts to make RSC content more mobile, and therefore increasingly available to chemists. In particular it will discuss our efforts to provide access to chemistry related data of high value to students in the laboratory. It will include an overview of spectroscopy tools for the review and analysis of various forms of spectroscopy dataTRANSCRIPT

Mobilizing Chemistry and “Generation App”
Chemistry has gone Mobile.. Read Publications Access databases Perform calculations Draw chemicals Retrieve reactions Tap into the ever-increasing cloud of data…
For students “Chemistry in the Hand” is to be expected….

Scientific Publishers Apps
Scientific publishers release apps to:
Provide mobile access to content
Search and deliver content to its registered users and engage other possible users
Greater accessibility means greater readership
Revenue generation from the content, not the app

Structure entry as an entry point to: Calculations (formula, mass) Predictions (local or server-based)
Systematic name generation, logP, pKa, NMR prediction, etc.
Database lookup On device dictionaries (because space doesn’t
matter!) Internet-hosted databases (because the latest
content does matter)

Sourcing information about SciApps
So, there are lots of Science Apps
Different platforms, different versions
How do you find them?
Where can developers post information about their apps? NOT Wikipedia!

Chemistry eBooks
The future of the Chemistry eBook…next year then?
eBooks already link to computational engines 3D rotating molecules are expected – stereoscopic
viewing will become standard? Kinect type interface for a tablet? Interactive graphing – data mine public websites to
include data Direct model generation and prediction And….

Conclusions How many students do not have smartphones? How long before Tablets are primary computers? Chemistry apps are commonplace
The near future is tomorrow…. Federated data access More creative tools for collaboration Hopefully more crowdsourced participation in
mobile-enabled curation and annotation
