Abstract
The ChemLinks Coalition and the Modular Chemistry Consortium, based at Beloit College and the University of California-Berkeley, respectively, are now in their third year of collaboration to develop and test topical modules for the first two years of the college chemistry curriculum. This report describes our implementation of a modular approach and some of the active learning strategies it employs, plans for evaluating the effectiveness of this approach, and plans for disseminating it broadly within the undergraduate chemistry community.
