I was difficult to draw teach
Yes with both hanf, and 3d plastic models.
Conventional 2d models
yes used ball and stick method
NO
Experience was good
No
No
Never used 3D plastic or Wooden models but now Jmol Software can help me further to study molecular structures measurement,labelling, orbitals, crystal structures, the best software i've used..
To discuss symmetry of molecules we have used such type of models.
Ball and stick model
Yes. For example while learning the conformations of cyclohexane, we were taught using plastic models. And the issue with that was that a lot of time was used up in just physically making the model
No
3 D models
yes.. but Jmol application creates interest among students.
yes i used 3D ball and stick models but Jmol is better option for that
yes
No experience
Yes I use ball and stick model for explaining models
Box and pencils were used to depict the structure
Jmol application will increase interest among students.
Used 2D drawings which are not full satisfactory for students
yes,
good
NO
used 2d diagrams scan from books and also used 3d models available in our school.
yes, but these softwaresare more comfortable
It is very difficult to teach. These 2 d drawings are also very time consuming.
I use 3D plastic models, it's make easy to learn
3D plastic model was used but it has limited use
Not used so far
Yes, I used many techniques to clear the concepts to the students.
When I use models students shows more interest in topic
Have used 2D images to represent molecules
Yes, Make - shift models were used to make students understand the spacial view of the molecules.
USE OF CLAY AND TOOTHPICKS FOR MAKING BALL AND STICK MODELS
never taught before
YES
yes 2D but 3D models are easier to understand
we use conventional methods of using , pen, cardboard etc.
Ball and stick models
Yes. I use to make ball and stick models for bonding, and coloured balls for packing in solids with the help of children .
To make such a model is very tedious task as compare to Jmol software.
2D DRAWINGS HANDHELD MODELS
yes, I use 3 D models of molecules made up of plastic
Yes.. Ball and stick method..
yes. that was also good. but this will be more easy i hope
3D plastic / wooden models
I use 3d models for teaching structures
I am from anatomy background, I was never exposed to these. As it will help me in further research, I am learning the chemical structures
i am using 2D drwaings many times only a few times i use models but not enough to satisfy students
Yes in Solid state
Ball and stick models for Solid State Chemistry and Sterioisomerism, proection formulae. Gives a better understanding to students.
Yes, plastic model kit if atoms and molecules
NA
No
Joung Wooden structures for stereochemistry is time taking, and the structures are not exact which lowers the interest in the students.
Very good experience after attending this such type of programme
Yes i have used ball n stick model
it used to be good
no
No
My chemistry teacher used to teach students using sticks n chalk apart from 2d drawings.

Hands on activities.
The format of spoken tutorials
Stereochemistry
Pratical
Hand on training Assignment
spoken tuitorial
The spoken tutorial is excellent. It is possible to study the explained commands. really great spoken tutorials. Then the assistants who support via chat also have done their work very well. But the person who lead the class was not at all good to do the work.
there can be two days to five days workshop
28. Any suggestions for improvement:
NA
When we ask a question don't tell us to write in the thread and rather answer it. It's helpful to us.
Can be spread over two days or even three or maybe even provide the link earlier and then performing the workshop
Excellent
No
no suggestions
it was excillent.
No
need to provide more time for assignment and solution manually by expert
Time limit and hands on activities
Time can be extended for 2 days so that we can learn more and reduce workload on a single day
no
It's good if we have 2 or 3 days for this, so we do our practices very well
Very hectic. May be done in parts
nothing...need more time to do assignments
More time is needed to do assignments
WELL DONE
More interaction during video tutorial
no
At the end of every spoken tutorial ,doubts can be clarified
Please arrange such workshop for doing experiments through.virtual labs..
It was a wonderful session
NA
For certain videoe like bond angle, bond length and all, instead of making participiants to watch the video, take one example and show them how to do and then give assignment. I think that will help a lot
Everything was great.
more assigments after the workshop to pratice may help better
increase session time so that participants can complete assignments with complete satifaction
None
Pleased include virtual lab sessions
Nothing
We can have few more such soft ware for chemistry
atleast upto first assigment be slow and ensure everyone complete and then can be fast.every where there will be some starting trouble
The person who lead the actual practice did not give any introduction. I didnot understand that I have to listen to the spoken tutorial and do the assignments. He moved from one to another without informing me what is happening there. Even if somebody told me about that, I didn't understand that. So I wasted a major time without doing anything. Then tried myself and completed 4 classes before 2 pm, and 2 in the afternoon. My suggestion is ask as to practice the spoken tutorial just after the cofirmation compulsory. If the person who telephoned had informed about this I should have completed that before attending the class.

It's was good
i could not use much as time was not availabebut it is very good idea
I asked one question by email regarding the installation of Jmol, they asked me to put in the forum, that is good for reference, but I was very much urgent to get its answer. So it was good to give answer to the question when I asked or reply to my question as soon as I posted my question. Later, on the day of workshop (morning) I got answer myself.
30. How do you hope to use the learnings from this workshop into practice?
I'll use it to make online presentation

For presentation
I will definitely share this with my colleagues, siblings and in my daily classroom teaching. I will also make my students learn Jmol and use it in learning and understanding chemistry.
I will be using in my classroom and teach students in more better way
Regular
As online classes are happening, we will be incorporating this in our classes
i will use in my classroom to teach more effectively
I am exploring the ways to apply my skills in research.
help full
Implement as much as possible in classroom teaching
By showing 3d molecules to students and encouraging them to create molecules for experiential learning process
Day to day life
I will use it for my PG students and my research papers
i can use jmol in future
I am trying to do protein structure prediction, so I need to know how to display commads such as spacefill, backbone, wireframe etc, and compare. Display commands is not explained in detail. I did not see anything about compare. I suggest, to include all the commands in the videos if possible.
31. Any other feedback
Not really. Everything was good.
Overall, it was a great experience.
No
Very good should be arranged over 2 or 3 days
Excellent
Good
no
provide advance one als0
really good session
If possible mail us the questions in assignments for more practice
Excellent workshop
no
Everything is excellent except speed of training
waiting for some more workshops to attend
A new experience. Wish to do advanced course in jmol
More interaction..
good work as a team of FOSSE there at IITB
It was a wonderful experience.I m looking forward for more such workshops.
Very nice
No
This workshop will help teachers and inturn their students. Definitely students will not study the chemistry in a space that never exist. they have the opportunity to see the exact way how the atoms behave and how the bond length and angle changes in different conformation
Overall a good workshop.
Include virtual labs for UG and PG students
Nothing
Good experience as expected from IIT MUMBAI
Good points - the spoken tutorials and chat assistance, bad points - the person who lead the practice session, was not properly to complete all the spoken tuturials, there should have a question what actually we expect from the workshop.
