| Initial local interest in acquiring an FT-NMR, for undergraduate instruction, was triggered by the ACS Committee on Professional Training review of small Colleges and Universities in the Chicago area. The South Metropolitan Regional Higher Educational Consortium (SMRHEC) is a group of colleges and universities that collaborates on education and technology issues common to the south Chicagoland metropolitan area. Members of SMRHEC include: Governors State University (GSU) (4y), University of St. Francis (USF) (4y), South Suburban College (SSC) (2y), Joliet Junior College (2y), Moraine Valley Community College (2y), Prairie State College (2y), Kankakee Community College (2y), Lewis University (4y), Olivet Nazarene University (4y), Trinity Christian College (4y), and St. Xavier University (4y). In 1999, through a CCLI grant (#9950554) from NSF, we acquired a Bruker AVANCE 300 MHz FT-NMR spectrometer to be stationed at GSU and to be used remotely, via the WEB, by the other members of SMRHEC. This presentation will focus on the promises and problems of WWW-Based remote operations and its role in shaping the undergraduate chemistry curriculum and research at the USF. |
