This software is from JCE: Software (Journal of Chemical Education) December 1995 by G.Linsensky and A.Ellis.

The ReadMeFirst file should be read before any installation is commenced as QuickTime, IndeoVideo and Adobe Acrobat Reader are required and the appropriate versions are supplied with the CD-ROM. Once all the necessary software is installed the application can be started by simply opening the Solid State Resources icon. An index is presented for the different sections of the text and PowerPoint slides, overhead masters and QuickTime movies are available for each chapter. Easy to follow instructions are provided for copying the required files and printing. One can readily jump out to the PowerPoint slides or Acrobat files.
The application can be run from the CD-ROM but may be a bit slow depending on the machine. We used the CD on both a Macintosh LC630 and a PowerMac 7200/90. Occasionally some of the large QuickTime movies hung when run on the LC630 from the CD-ROM but were no problem when copied and run from the local hard drive.
This is an excellent resource for those involved in teaching solid state chemistry and it is refreshing to see authors addressing the issue of providing resources for the teacher as well as for the student. |
