The ASDL Timeline, 2002 to Present

  1. Asdlib.org curriculum development meeting

    ASDL peer-reviewed and annotated weblink collection – funded by NSF

    ASDL first generation editors created a collection of peer-reviewed and annotated web link resources. Led by Cindy Larive and Ted Kuwana and funded by NSF, this was an early attempt (pre–Google and Bing algorithms) to cull analytical chemistry web resources into a cohesive collection. The collection was shared with the National Digital Sciences Library.

  2. ASDL editors develop e-learning modules

    Over several summers ASDL editors attended curriculum development workshops and created full-fledged e-courseware, e-books, e-practices and, e-labware. These curricular materials lay the groundwork to assist your own teaching.of analytical chemistry.

  3. ASDL exchange forum

    Community Exchange Forums-funded by NSF

    The community exchange forums  was developed by David Harvey, with the intention of building a community of sites for analytical chemistry. These exchange forums offer datasets, images, videos, problems, and lab experiments. It also host ASDL’s Active Learning Materials site was developed under this community of sites.  OK

  4. Tom Wenzel and his students

    Active Learning Materials – funded by NSF

    Active Learning Materials came when Tom Wenzel, Bates College, stepped and developed a team to out to find a way to offer full approaches and resources for active learning in the lab, classroom, and materials that accompany texts that support instruction in analytical chemistry courses.

  5. Remote Labs and Simulations – sponsored by ACS analytical division

    ASDL’s Remote Labs and Simulations were developed as a way to get resources for teaching labs remotely up and running quickly in response to the pandemic. Tom Spudich and Lane Baker moved swiftly to get a great team together. The best part is the value in the collection of labs and skill building tools goes beyond remote learning and can be used within your classroom curriculum as  well!
