The AIChE Concept Warehouse: A Website Resource for Concept-Based Instruction

Abstract

This profile describes the AIChE Concept Warehouse (CW) website, a community developed, web-based tool to decrease instructional barriers and to help faculty implement concept-based active learning in class. The CW provides three distinct but complementary functions: (a) a content repository, (b) an audience response system and learning management system to deliver content, and (c) learning analytics that provide learning data to instructors and researchers. The available content includes ConcepTests, Concept Inventories, and more extensive Instructional Tools.
