"As Scott gazed at the revolving space station, looking quite state-of-the-art, he whistled to himself softly. The winner of the Star Park contest would go to this just-completed space station. And the winner would be the first one to experience the first-ever virtual-reality space adventure Inside the space station, Star Park had created a gigantic version of their new computer. This gigantic computer could create a world-size virtual-reality adventure. Scott had jumped at the chance to win such a prize. The only way to enter the contest was to buy a Star Park computer. Then with the virtual-reality capability of the computer, the contestant had to make up an adventure and submit it to Star Park. The winning adventure would entitle the contestant to go to Star Park. To experience a world-size adventure was by itself exciting. But to also travel to the space station he was gawking at now made the whole idea irresistible. He had never wanted anything more than to win this contest."

This book provides a descriptive, progressive narrative on the flipped classroom including its history, connection to theory, structure, and strategies for implementation. Important questions to consider when evaluating the purpose and effectiveness of flipping are answered. The book also highlights case studies of flipped higher education classrooms within five different subject areas. Each case study is similarly structured to highlight the reasons behind flipping, principles guiding flipped instructions, strategies used, and lessons learned. An appendix that contains lesson plans, course schedules, and descriptions of specific activities is also included.

This edited volume of papers from the twenty first International Conference on Chemical Education attests to our rapidly changing understanding of the chemistry itself as well as to the potentially enormous material changes in how it might be taught in the future. Covering the full range of appropriate topics, the book features work exploring themes as various as e-learning and innovations in instruction, and micro-scale lab chemistry. In sum, the 29 articles published in these pages focus the reader's attention on ways to raise the quality of chemistry teaching and learning, promoting the public understanding of chemistry, deploying innovative technology in pedagogy practice and research, and the value of chemistry as a tool for highlighting sustainability issues in the global community. Thus the ambitious dual aim achieved in these pages is on the one hand to foster improvements in the leaching and communication of chemistry-whether to students or the public, and secondly to promote advances in our broader understanding of the subject that will have positive knock-on effects on the world's citizens and environment. In doing so, the book addresses (as did the conference) the neglect suffered in the chemistry classroom by issues connected to globalization, even as it outlines ways to bring the subject alive in the classroom through the use of innovative technologies.
