PRINTEDINTHEUNITEDSTATESOFAMERICA Foreword The ACS Symposium Series was first published in 1974 to provide a mechanism for publishing symposia quickly in book form. The purpose of the series is to publish timely, comprehensive books developed from the ACS sponsoredsymposiabasedoncurrentscientificresearch. Occasionally,booksare developed from symposia sponsored by other organizations when the topic is of keeninteresttothechemistryaudience. Beforeagreeingtopublishabook,theproposedtableofcontentsisreviewed forappropriateandcomprehensivecoverageandforinteresttotheaudience. Some papersmaybeexcludedtobetterfocusthebook;othersmaybeaddedtoprovide comprehensiveness. When appropriate, overview or introductory chapters are added.

As a rule, only original research papers and original review papers are included in the volumes. Verbatim reproductions of previous published papers arenotaccepted.

In it, the authors point out that online education and its accompanying digital technologies represent a heretofore-nonexistent form of disruptive innovation. They also predict that these new technologies will dramatically alter how we teach and may even imperil some postsecondary institutions that resist adjusting and integrating these new tools to their full advantage. Questionsaccordinglyariseforuseducators,suchas:shouldIadaptandbetter incorporateonlineorotherdigitaltechnologiesintomyteaching? Ifso,whichones shouldIuse,andhowcanIbestdothat? Ifnot,whynot? Andmoreforebodingly, is it possible, in an increasingly competitive global market of online educators, thatthosewhoresistnewteachingtoolsmayonedaybereplacedbythosewhodo not? Sensitive to the possible future educational revolution that new online tools may portend, we organized a one-session symposium at the 252nd American Chemical Society (ACS) National Meeting in Philadelphia, held on August 25, 2016. Thesession’stitlewas“Present&FutureImpactoftheInternet,WebApps &High-SpeedNetworkingTechnologyonLocal&GlobalChemistryEducation.” Our symposium’s purpose was to share ways in which new technologies, suchascollaborativewebapps,podcasting,onlinevideos,andsocialnetworking sites,arecurrentlybeingusedintheuniversityclassroom. Therewereadditional discussions centered on questions like, “How are such technologies impacting ourstudentsandtheglobalcommunity?”And,“Whatwillthefutureofchemistry education look like; as such tools become increasingly common?” The session featured talks by eight university educators with diverse expertise in employing online and other digital resources in their chemistry classrooms. The topic’s timelinessandinterestlevelapparentlymadeitwell-suitedforanACSsymposium series volume, as we received an invitation to assemble the book before our sessionhadeventranspired. ix
