Abstract

After building the theoretical base in the first volume, this volume introduces various technologies used in a practical level. The number is titled “Applications and Use Cases”. Applications refer to technologies such as measurement technology and molecular modelling software. Use cases refer to, for example, skills, such as research skills, that are sought in the pedagogical use of applications. The issue starts with microcomputer-based laboratory (MBL), one of the oldest information and communication technologies (ICT) widely used in the teaching of chemistry. This section is the fastest updating section in the collection.
