Summary

The virtual chemistry class is a joint project of Davidson Institute of Science education and the department of science teaching. The virtual class is aimed at students who want to learn chemistry but there is no face-to-face class in their school or town,
The students will participate in on-line learning for a period of 3 years, and will be tested in the external matriculation exam.
This year is a development year. We develop our instructional materials according to the following principles: diagnostic and formative assessment, addressing various learning styles, supporting self-regulated learning, and supporting peers learning and interactions.
