While cheminformatics skills necessary for dealing with an ever-increasing amount of chemical information are considered important for students pursuing STEM careers in the age of big data, many schools do not offer a cheminformatics course or alternative training opportunities. This paper presents the Cheminformatics Online Chemistry Course (OLCC), which is organized and run by the Committee on Computers in Chemical Education (CCCE) of the American Chemical Society (ACS)'s Division of Chemical Education (CHED). The Cheminformatics OLCC is a highly collaborative teaching project involving instructors at multiple schools who teamed up with external chemical information experts recruited across sectors, including government and industry. From 2015 to 2019, three Cheminformatics OLCCs were offered. In each program, the instructors at participating schools would meet face-to-face with the students of a class, while external content experts engaged through online discussions across campuses with both the instructors and students. All the material created in the course has been made available at the open education repositories of LibreTexts and CCCE Web sites for other institutions to adapt to their future needs.
在大数据时代，处理日益增长的化学信息所需的化学信息学技能被认为对追求STEM职业的学生很重要，但许多学校没有提供化学信息学课程或其他培训机会。本文介绍了化学信息学在线化学课程（OLCC），该课程由美国化学学会（ACS）化学教育分会（CHED）的化学教育计算机委员会（CCCE）组织和运营。化学信息学OLCC是一个高度协作的教学项目，涉及多所学校的教师，他们与包括政府和行业在内的跨部门招聘的外部化学信息专家合作。从2015年到2019年，共提供了三期化学信息学OLCC。在每个项目中，参与学校的教师会与一个班级的学生面对面交流，而外部内容专家则通过跨校区的在线讨论与教师和学生互动。该课程创建的所有材料都已在LibreTexts和CCCE网站的开放教育资源库中提供，供其他机构根据自身未来需求进行改编。
