The World Wide Web can provide individualized instruction across the world while catering to a variety of learning styles through the use of text, images, animations, and sound. The instructional possibilities of the World Wide Web are increasing exponentially as Hot Java, Shockwave, VRML, and other powerful software standards become widespread and more students gain access. In this talk, I will present our results in using the Web to teach chemical concepts in a visual context to large classes of up to 1400 students. I will also highlight other multimedia efforts that eventually will be placed on the Web once the technology makes it feasible. This modular approach is supported by the National Science Foundation.
