*** Are you looking for a free online computational chemistry platform 
to support distance learning this spring? ***

WebMO LLC <https://www.webmo.net> is committed to assisting faculty 
deliver online computational chemistry exercises during the rapid shift 
to remote student learning.

We are providing free access to a WebMO Enterprise server 
<https://buchner.chem.hope.edu/~webmoremote/cgi-bin/webmo/spring20/login.cgi> 
for you and your students to perform online computational chemistry 
learning exercises.

Since WebMO is entirely web-based, there is no software to install. Just 
click the server link, log in, and run jobs.  The server runs WebMO 
Enterprise, which supports MO and electrostatic potential visualization, 
coordinate scanning, individual student accounts, and more!

The WebMO website also provides links to many computational chemistry 
exercises <https://www.webmo.net/curriculum> with WebMO-specific 
instructions suitable for online learning including
     * Molecular Shapes Lab (General Chemistry)
     * Molecular Conformations Lab (Organic Chemistry)
     * VIPEr exercises (Inorganic Chemistry)
     * CCCE labs (Computational Chemistry)
     * Other classroom-tested exercises

WebMO also has an app that can be freely installed on Apple and Android 
smartphones or tablets.

To apply for a free WebMO Enterprise account, please email the following 
information to webmo:-:webmo.net with the subject "Free Remote WebMO":
       Instructor Name:
       Instructor Email:
       Institution:
       Course Name:
       Course Number (and Section):
       Approximate Number of Students:
Instructions for accessing your account will then be emailed to you.

Please note that while this is a fully-functional instance of WebMO 
Enterprise, the following limitations exist due to the shared environment:
     * Use is for education only (not research)
     * Jobs are limited to 3 minutes CPU time
     * Available engines include: Gaussian, Mopac, ORCA
     * Job files will be retained until June 30, 2020
WebMO retains the option to expand or contract the above parameters to 
match demand with available computational resources.

We hope that this free WebMO Enterprise server can be of assistance to 
you and your students during the move to distance learning this semester.

Stay healthy,

The WebMO Team
