Product Tour
Used successfully in chemistry classrooms for more than a decade by hundreds of thousands of students, OWL is the only online learning and assessment system developed by chemistry instructors specifically for teaching chemistry.
OWL:
Mastery Learning Problems
Mastery learning problems contain questions associated with specific concepts or skills. With these unique problems, the chemistry, the wording of the questions, and the numbers change to ensure student mastery. This 3-way randomization of problems allows students to practice and understand the underlying chemical concepts before they gain mastery and move on.
End-of-Chapter Questions
End-of-chapter questions contain interactive versions of your textbook’s end-of-chapter questions and often include step-by-step tutoring on how to solve the problem.
Simulations
Simulations are flash modules designed to aid conceptual understanding of chemical systems. These contain an interactive panel where students adjust variables in a system, observe the resulting changes to the system, and answer a set of guiding questions that lead the student through an exploration of the concept.
Tutorials
Tutorials are flash modules designed to lead a student through a problem, showing them how to solve it step-by-step. Tutorial help is offered for each step in the process.
Visual Exercises
Visual Exercises are flash modules that contain interactive versions of figures from the text and a set of guiding questions that lead the student through an exploration of the concept illustrated in the figure.
OWL for Organic Chemistry
OWL for Organic Chemistry contains the JMOL applet allowing students interactive viewing of molecules and the most recent version of Marvin Sketch software for drawing molecules.
