Abstract
Teaching has entered a period of profound change as information technology evolves. My own involvement began in harnessing online methods to provide students better preparation for laboratory work, including making lab videos for online delivery. The next step was to be involved in the making of a MOOC on Forensic Science and working on the challenges of using the MOOC material for degree credit. The final stage has been to employ online methods for teaching organic chemistry to chemistry majors. Throughout, the challenge has always been to find the right blend of face to face and online methods, the right balance between novelty and tradition, and to ensure that the technology truly enhances and enables the teaching.
