Instructions

  1. This is an openly accessible module shared by Rutgers eLearning on Canvas Commons Links to an external site., and can be searched and found by its Module Name "Learning Activities: Atomic Orbitals". Make sure you remove any restrictions (e.g. institution) before searching.
  2. This module contains learning activities designed to engage but not limited to undergraduate students who are taking General Chemistry course to learn atomic orbitals. 
  3. You could preview Links to an external site. this module to get an idea of its content. 
  4. Once you decided to adopt and use this module to teach in your class, you could import Links to an external site. it to your course. Follow Canvas guide in how to import a Commons resource in Canvas (here's the link Links to an external site. again)
    • Some components of this module are developed for instructors only and should NOT be published to students, for example, this ReadMe page you are reading, make sure you unpublish such components when importing the module to a published course site. Be cautious when publishing content marked as "Instructors ONLY" unless you do mean to publish it, for example, the key. 
    • We also provided you a full record of how the activities were implemented on Canvas in 2019 (in-class instruction) and 2020 (remote-instruction due to COVID19) in Rutgers Honors General Chemistry courses, but we recommend using the most updated material we prepared for 2021 Fall semester. 
    • We also provide you a full record of how the learning activity on the same content was implemented on Canvas in 2019 (in-class instruction) and 2020 (remote-instruction due to COVID19) in Rutgers Honors General Chemistry courses, but we recommend using the most updated material developed in 2021.
