The introduction of clickers into the learning environment evolved significantly reflecting major developments in student academic performance. From simple in-class, multiple-choice questions to global international competitions, this innovative tool has managed to combine both education and entertainment into an intuitive and positively reinforcing learning experience. In 2011, the PI was appointed by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) to represent and coordinate the activities in Lebanon in celebration of the International Year of Chemistry (IYC2011). The first seed of organic chemistry competition (OC) was thus planted, sparking a series of more successful events promoting a fun and proactive educational environment that recognized the participants' mastery of essential concepts of organic chemistry. As such, the OC has since became a platform for higher education and student-based academic involvement joining students from all around the world and different walks of life to experience and share a common interest: organic chemistry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
