Abstract

 The LearnChemE site (www.LearnChemE.com), which provides teaching/learning resources for chemical engineering courses for both faculty and students, is described. The site provides resources to help faculty implement active learning and flipped classrooms. The site also helps students supplement their textbooks and classroom materials. The resources available include screencasts (and interactive screencasts), interactive simulations, student resources (how to study/how to learn suggestions, Polymath files and screencasts), and faculty resources (ConcepTests, course packages).
