by Electronic Homework Systems. This extremely useful CD-ROM generates questions for students for every topic in the general chemistry course. The questions are presented in a randomized fashion with a constant mix of variables so that no two students will receive the same questions. The application provides feedback for students when incorrect answers are entered, and the answers can be submitted to an instructor for grading.

by Maha Ashour-Abdalla (University of California, Los Angeles) and Raymond Chang. This innovative CD-ROM provides a highly interactive study and tutorial package for the one-year general chemistry course. It contains 60 animations of concepts, 25 interactive lab simulations and 25 movies focusing on real-world applications, along with interactive step by step problem-solving and quizzing modules. CyberChem contains hyperlinked conceptual sections based on the chapters in Chemistry . In addition, no matter where students are in the program, they will have access to a unique hyperlinked Periodic Table, with photos, information about the elements, a search function, and cross-references to these elements where they are discussed elsewhere in the program.
