OER SPOTLIGHT: CHEMISTRY
Chemistry, Life the Universe and Everything (CLUE) is a transformed general chemistry curriculum, developed by an interdisciplinary team of a chemist and a molecular biologist, that aims to bring about evidence based change in general chemistry.
CLUE was developed using a design research approach that focuses on scaffolded progressions around four core ideas:
