OrganicPad

Chemistry Without Constraints

OrganicPad is an educational tool designed for users to freely draw molecules in an intuitive manner.

OrganicPad is currently being funded by the NSF.

Features
Pen Technology OrganicPad was designed for use with the Tablet PC.  By taking advantage of the tablet PC's unique features, users can quickly and freely create molecules just as they would on paper.
Teacher/Student Interaction Students and Teachers may freely interact with each other through real-time evaluations or user created exercises.
3D Representation Users are able to take their 2D drawings into the 3rd dimension to better analyze the molecule's structure.
Research Tool OrganicPad records the entire replay process during the creation of a molecule.  OrganicPad allows isntructors to replay their students' submissions for correctness and for cognitive process analysis.
