The ChemThink Server Is Working Again!
ChemThink Server Status
Great news for ChemThink users – the ChemThink server is up and running! It took a lot of long nights over the summer, and a complete rewrite of all of the software, but it is finally working again. The server is only available for the two new HTML5 tutorials – the old Flash-based tutorials are incompatible with the new technology. We will work on porting over the remaining tutorials as time permits.
To access the new server-based tutorials, go to either of the following:
Particulate Nature of Matter Tutorial
You will have the option to create either a teacher account or a student account. We recommend that every teacher create a mock student account to see the new system from their students’ perspective.
You should have the following capabilities:
- create an account
- log in / log out
- reset a forgotten password
- do tutorials and question sets (just “Atomic Structure” and “The Particulate Nature of Matter” so far)
- see when assignments are due
- modify your own student information and join a class – It is also possible to create a student account that is not part of a class, and then join later.
- create an account
- log in / log out
- reset a forgotten password
- create a class
- manage the students in a class, including resetting their password
- modify your own teacher account information
- set due dates for assignments***
- track student progress on assignments
A big thank-you to all of the teachers who have donated money for the new server, shared their ChemThink worksheets, helped with testing, and provided moral support and encouragement along the way.
