Introduction
We regret to inform you that we are postponing the 3 day workshop on Jmol Application workshop scheduled on 08 April to 10 April 2021 to a later date.
New dates for the workshop will be announced soon. Registration fee will be refunded shortly.
We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Jmol Application is a free and open source software to view, create, and edit three-dimensional models of chemical structures, macromolecules (Crystal structures, Proteins, and Nucleic acids). It is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux Operating Systems. It is useful for students, educators, and researchers in the fields of chemistry, biochemistry and pharmacy. It can be a useful tool for classroom teaching and presentations.
The FOSSEE (Free/Libre and Open Source Software for Education) project at IIT Bombay (https://fossee.in) has been promoting Jmol Application, and other FLOSS, such as ChemCollective Virtual Lab, Biopython, Avogadro, UCSF Chimera, CellDesigner, OpenFOAM, Scilab, Python, eSim, Osdag, OpenModelica, R, Drupal and Linux, and open source hardware, such as Arduino and OpenPLC. The FOSSEE Project is funded by NMEICT, Ministry of Education, Govt. of India.
Methodology of the Workshop
The workshop will be for 3 days, around 6 hrs of lectures/hands on session on each day. The workshop will be conducted using a mix of pre-recorded spoken tutorial videos with side by side learning and live lectures. Practice problems/assignments will also be provided after every topic followed by discussions on them to get a good understanding of each topic.
All participants will get the Jmol Application software, Spoken Tutorials on Jmol Application, video recording of all lectures and several solved problems. Using these, all those who are interested in conducting Jmol Application workshops by themselves, can do so. They will also get an opportunity to contribute towards the collaborative content creation activity of the FOSSEE Project.
