Molecular Workbench

In this section, multimedia tools refer to computer-based systems that integrate multiple symbol systems (Salomon, 1979), such as text, audio, video, graph, and animation, to demonstrate chemical entities and/or processes at the macro, submicro, or symbolic levels. In the following, we review four multimedia tools—4M Chem, ChemSense, Molecular Workbench, and Connected Chemistry—and use the design principles suggested by Wu and Shah (2004) to summarize how these tools support students in learning chemistry. 

Molecular Workbench (MW) is a two-dimensional molecular dynamics application written in Java and created by Concord Consortium (http //workbench.concord.org/). It provides multiple representations and molecular dynamic simulations that allow...
