  1. WWW-based remote FT-NMR operation: A boost to undergraduate chemistry curriculum and research 231st ACS Spring National Meeting Atlanta 2006 Salim M. Diab University of St. Francis Joliet, IL 60435 G. A. Moehring Governors State University University Park, IL 60466

  2. Purpose: Remote monitoring of complex instrumentation using simple web-based tools. • The web provides a unique environment for providing information in a global context. With a proper web browser, it is possible for an individual from almost any location in the world to view the same content as someone thousands of miles away. Modern transducers, video cameras, and appropriate software allow a researcher to inexpensively monitor (and record if necessary) information that allows the status of an experiment to be readily ascertained whether one is using a workstation adjacent to the instrument, at home in the evening, or on a business trip thousands of miles away.

  18. Advanced Applications

  19. Extension of Outreach to Atomic Spectroscopy • Student Environmental Contract Lab • “The Penny Project”

  20. Student Environmental Contract Lab • Goal: Acclimate students to an industrial workplace model • Students provide services to clients such as other courses, research projects, etc… • Students fill roles such as chemical analyst, quality assurance analyst, and project manager

  21. Penny Project

  22. Lessons Learned • Remote Users Want and Need Training • Remote Users Want First-Hand Experience for Their Students • Raw Data and Processing Software Provide Good Benefit for Remote Users • Improved NMR Experience Provides Students with Better Understanding of Modern NMR Spectroscopy

  23. Feedback • “With respect to use of the instrument, it seems that most faculty prefer, understandably, a hands-on approach by their students to remote use. I think one of the better improvements that we have made has been the use of second party software to process and plot the NMR data back at their local institutions”

  24. “You know that it takes a while for several students to analyze several samples on the instrument and it is difficult, then, to both teach NMR processing and interpretation of NMR spectra while also acquiring all the necessary data.”

  25. “The second party software allows remote faculty to work individually with their students on processing and interpreting their data properly. These are just my thoughts for now and I'm sure that we'll have an opportunity to confer about this further.”
