Animations can also be incorporated into talks or tutorials by using an authoring program such as Microsoft Powerpoint. Copies of animations can be made available to students on a campus network or on a departmental World Wide Web page. Students can also be provided with copies of key frames and data sheets so that they can make notes directly on them. Again, the animations are easy to make and most can be prepared in the time it would take to generate a set of good overheads. Also, it is easy to build up a personal archive.
More animations are available from the authors upon request.
A simple, low-cost method for producing animated line drawings of material used in organic chemistry has been presented. The work presented was done on a Macintosh Centris 650. The animations have been used with Mac IIsi, Cetris, Quadra, and 8100 Power PC Macintoshes. ChemDraw and Chem3D are trademarks of CambridgeSoft Corp. 2.
