| Innovations in education often face resistance to adoption based on artifacts of the field. In chemistry, the existance of nationally standardized exams from the ACS Exams Institute represents one artifact that is not present in many disciplines. This paper will discuss the strategy that has been used to devise high quality items with nanotechnology connections and present a report on the progress of incorporating items such as this into exams. The possible use of this strategy for other innovative content coverage will also be noted. This project is funded by the National Science Foundation, under grant CHE-0408378. |
