Abstract :
The curriculum of PG chemistry course (Inorganic special) - unit on VSEPR was designed incorporating technology for which the unique software Jmol was utilized. It was implemented in the classroom for three sessions of students of the PG inorganic chemistry course. The experience of the author in the research behind the implementation, development, evaluation and development of the adaptable instructional design is described in this paper. Also discussed is the need for the chemistry teachers to be trained in domain specific pedagogy.
