What is Chemxplore360?

Chemistry Explore 360 (ChemXplore360) is a future-oriented chemistry learning model that combines immersive technology with interactive, website-based learning experiences. Designed specifically for first-year students taking Basic Chemistry courses, ChemXplore360 invites students to explore the world of chemistry in a more exciting, realistic, and meaningful way.

Through this website, students not only learn concepts, but also embark on scientific adventures with:

  1. Following scientific inquiry-based learning steps using the Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) approach, which fosters curiosity and critical thinking;
  2. Exploring socioscientific issues that connect chemistry to real life and social dilemmas in society;
  3. Explore the world of chemistry through immersive technology via 360° immersive videos that make them feel as if they are inside a laboratory or experiencing chemical phenomena firsthand; and
  4. Bringing chemistry concepts to life with Augmented Reality (AR), so that molecules, reactions, and chemical structures appear in 3D form that can be explored from various angles.

This website was developed with the following objectives:

  1. Facilitating students in understanding various important concepts in Basic Chemistry,
  2. Improving science and chemistry literacy so that students are able to think scientifically and critically, as well as
  3. Training argumentation skills, so that they can convey scientific opinions logically and based on evidence.

Chemistry Explore 360 funded by the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education through the PFR Research Scheme with the number 2.6.92/UN32.14.1/LT/2025 Fiscal Year 2025.
