Stan Smith holds the Murchison-Mallory Chair in the Department of Chemistry and is the founder of the Chemistry Learning Center. Stan is a pioneer in the use of technology for the teaching of chemistry. He has been actively involved in the creation of computer-based interactive chemistry lessons since the late 1960s, when the use of mainframe computers for instructional purposes was just emerging. He is the co-author, along with Loretta Jones, of ChemNet™, an interactive software that uses multimedia to teach basic concepts of general and organic chemistry. This software received the EDUCOM/ENCRIPTAL Best Tutorial Software in 1987, Best Chemistry in 1987 and Best Chemistry Software in 1989.
