Try these tools and tips for teaching electron pushing

Educators at the University of Ottawa in Canada developed an open access, online module called ‘Organic mechanisms: mastering the arrows’ to support students with the concept of electron pushing. A recent piece of research by Carle et al (2020) shows that students who used this online module had significant learning gains. Discover how you can use their findings in your classroom to help your students master organic mechanisms.
