White Paper: Hyper Molecular Modeling

MolySym’s novel multimodal molecular modeling system creates a seamless interface between a hand held physical ball-and-stick molecular model and a computer generated virtual molecular model. We call this type of molecular modeling “hyper molecular modeling” or hypermodeling. Hypermodels blend multiple modalities (tactile, audio, and visual), thereby improving a student’s understanding of the physical, chemical and biological changes that occur on the molecular level. In this paper we examine the critical role hypermodeling will play in the primary and secondary education system. In particular, we describe the way it makes learning fundamental physical chemistry principles easy to understand and accessible to all students, thereby changing the way students learn chemistry and improving the general level of chemistry education.
