General Chemistry I covers all of the topics typically covered in first semester General Chemistry and includes both formative assessments, with high scaffolding, end of unit and module quizzes.
This course offers highly contextualized, engaging content, designed in a logical flow that transitions smoothly between relatively small amounts of expository text, worked examples, activities, interactives, simulations, and other media.
The exercises scaffold students through complex problems before moving to less or un-scaffolded practice. The many practice problems provide immediate, detailed feedback and hints as needed.
The course also includes many engaging and interactive elements such as interactive examples and instructor-led videos demonstrating problem-solving methods. Substantial value is added through a coherent learning experience, tagged against a consistent set of learning objectives tied to a common knowledge model.

The Computer Software and Tools course provides a comprehensive exploration of computing, equipping individuals with the skills and knowledge to navigate modern technology. Covering both theoretical insights and practical applications, participants gain an understanding of hardware and software functionalities.
The course includes fundamental principles of operating systems, office suites like Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. This course also develops a part concerning the problem solving approach based on algorithmic notions and a programming language.
Teaching is in a hybrid format:
-
Online lectures for theory.
-
In-person tutorials for practice.

This tutorial provides a general introduction to the laws and concepts covering the properties of matter and its transformations. While primarily designed for students in biomedical sciences (medicine, pharmacy...) earth sciences, and common core programs in biotechnology and national polytechnic schools, it remains accessible to anyone seeking to acquire foundational knowledge of chemistry. The emphasis is on fundamental principles of general chemistry, particularly the structure of matter.
Given the diverse backgrounds and academic levels among undergraduate students, instructors face significant pedagogical challenges. Hence, this tutorial includes a review of key concepts such as atoms and molecules, crucial for understanding the curriculum, whether in lectures, tutorials, or practical sessions. The most recent and advanced aspects in the field of material structure are also comprehensively addressed in this tutorial.
