ICT AS USEFUL TOOLS TO IMPROVE THE TEACHING OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

It is becoming increasingly clear that ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) can be very useful for the transmission of scientific theoretical contents, facilitating access to information as well as its presentation in different supports and the construction and interpretation of graphic representations [1].

Likewise, the different communication tools offered by the Internet, facilitate synchronous and asynchronous communication between professors and students, and students between them, regardless of the location and time in which they are placed. In this regard, various communication tools can be used (Chats, TV-Web, Videoconferences, e-mail, distribution lists, telematic debates, specific programs, virtual laboratories, etc.), tools that facilitate the tutorial action of the professor, and the possibility of educational experiences with professors and students not present in the immediate environment of the center [2].

Furthermore, with the incorporation of the ICTs [3] for teaching Organic Chemistry, our group intends to obtain an exchange of ideas and experiences to promote the cooperation between professors of different Universities and make a pooling of the materials and the teaching resources available in them, with the aim for providing the students the access to all this information as well as their correct learning.
