CHEMCONF (Chemistry Conference Center)
MDCETP (Maryland Collaborative for Excellence in Teacher Preparation).
MCTPINT, student listserv for Maryland Collaborative for Excellence in Teacher Preparation).

b). The CHEMCONF Online Symposia. During the summer of 1993, Prof. O'Haver conceived, organized and operated the world's first on-line electronic symposium for college chemistry teachers, which covered the use of computers, video, audio, films and other technologies in the teaching of chemistry at the secondary, college, and graduate level. The symposium was sponsored by the Committee on Computers in Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society's Division of Chemical Education. A total of 450 chemistry educators from 33 countries participated. The symposium received favorable press notices in Chemical & Engineering News, February 15, 1993, page 25, and October 11, 1993, page 26; Science 261, 1271 (1993); and Wired, November 1993, page 30.

 During the summers of 1995, 1996 and 1997, and in the Winter/Spring semester of 1998, Prof. O'Haver operated similar on-line invitational symposia on Chemical Education, also sponsored by the Committee on Computers in Chemical Education. The most recent of these attracted the participation of 840 chemistry educators from 50 countries. See http://www.wam.umd.edu/~toh for a set of links to all these on-line symposia.
