Virtual Inorganic Pedagogical Electronic Resource

Abstract
The deep yet narrow training received by most chemistry faculty can make curricular innovation at the undergraduate level difficult. Faculty need current knowledge in a broad range of subdisciplines and effective approaches for teaching outside their “comfort zone.” To support innovations in teaching, the new resource VIPEr (www.ionicviper.org) was created, which combines a digital library of learning objects with social networking tools to form a rich virtual community of practice amongst chemistry faculty worldwide.
