Open Educational Resources by School

MIT Open Courseware offers an extensive series of online courses in Chemistry. Course format generally includes lecture videos, interactive concept quizzes (solution key), problem sets, terms and definitions, suggested topics and links, and exams (with solution key).

This site was established to provide chemistry students with a library of spectroscopy problems. Interpretation of spectra is a technique that requires practice - this site provides 1H NMR and 13C NMR, DEPT, COSY and IR spectra of various compounds for students to interpret.

BookBoon offers more than 25 chemistry titles. These books are available for free as downloadable PDFs, but they do include some minimal advertising.

An open textbook on a variety of introductory chemistry topics.

A CalTech title, this is an introductory college-level text for General Chemistry.

UC Davis's ChemWiki includes modules on the core information in the fields of organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, physical chemistry, and analytical chemistry.

Written by John Hutchinson of Rice University, this resource is an on-line textbook for an Introductory General Chemistry course.

From UC Davis's ChemWiki, this textbook uses biological molecules and biochemical reactions to explain and illustrate the central concepts of organic chemistry.

These short (5 to 12 minute) videos cover lower-division chemistry topics.

Highly reviewed by MERLOT peers - "Here's your chance to mix chemicals without wearing safety goggles. You won't spill any acid on the spectrometer in this lab. Choose solutions from the vast database and mix 'em together till the cloned cows come home. Marvel as the chemical solutions react in real time. "

This is exactly what it says...a periodic table that comes alive. For each element that you click on, it'll give the name, picture, history, and everylittle thing you'll need to know about that element. It even has a media section to veiw different forms, images, and videos of that particular element.

ChemWiki is maintained by UC Davis and is a collaborative approach to chemistry education. Its Textbook Maps matches ChemWiki's openly available material to the contents of popular textbooks. Physical, theoretical, organic, inorganic, analytical, and general chemistry textbooks are included.
