Abstract: Scientific visualization of molecular models in the classroom using high-quality computer graphics can be a powerful means to support students’ learning of molecular structure. The objective of this paper is to analyze the feasibility of using PyMOL (an easy-to-use molecular model visualization program) in a classroom for learning and teaching molecular structure, with the support of active stereoscopic visualization. This paper describes a technical study on the testing of shutter glasses and a data projector used to display molecular models in a classroom. This paper also lists recommendations on their application in class.
