Abstract
Chemistry education at the graduate level and beyond faces the formidable challenge of a boundless and constantly expanding frontier of knowledge on many fronts. While modern learners have an increasingly broad range of resources available at their disposal (including open access text-based references, online videos, training problems, and other digital learning materials), there are comparatively fewer such materials aimed at the highest levels of study. With the goal of producing widely accessible graduate-level learning content, we created a community-based approach to online course design that is easily digestible to meet the expectations of modern learners. Herein, we report the development of an open access Advanced Organic Chemistry video-based online course and several other specialized minicourses using the Synthesis Workshop YouTube channel.
