In an effort to help reduce the impact of college closures and the shift to online classes for community college and university students, Sama Learning announced today that its VR-based General Chemistry course will be made available for free through May 2020. The Chemistry Course includes the following lessons: Periodic Trends, Balancing Chemical Equations, Atomic Orbital Theory, VSEPR and Hybridization. Sama’s General Chemistry lessons were designed to be used alongside existing classwork and can provide valuable educational support for student learning otherwise limited by the Covid-19 crisis.
“Sama is a company working to improve access to effective education and this is our way of providing some assistance during this worldwide crisis.“ said Barbara DeHart, CEO and Co-founder of Sama Learning. “We understand the importance of the interactive learning that takes place in classrooms, labs, and study groups. And although many are being eliminated now in an effort to reduce the spread of the virus, Sama’s interactive courses can help to fill that gap.”
Sama VR can be used in two ways to assist in online learning. Students who have access to a supported VR headset can download the course and use all lessons immediately. Instructors who have access to a headset, can record their lessons in VR and share them with students via their learning management system or social media channels. There is no registration or email required to access the lessons. Sama has also published complete video-based versions on their website that can be accessed on a mobile phone or a web browser.
