EChemTest® is the electronic Self Evaluation Session (SES) test service run by the ECTN (www.ectn.eu) through its Virtual Education Community (VEC) committee.
EChemTest® SESs last up to one hour and consist of a set of 30 randomly selected Questions and Answers (Q&A)s run on the cloud by the local examiner using LibreEOL (https://echemtest.libreeol.org/). The large bank of Q&As covers the de facto standard contents of the ECTN Eurolabels grouped into Libraries of four different levels:
- Pre-University (Level-1):a person at the end of compulsory education (General Chemistry 1 (GC1));
- University Access (Level-2):a person at the beginning of Chemistry-related University studies (General Chemistry 2 (GC2));
- University Bachelor (Level-3):a person at the end of the Core Chemistry Syllabus at the University Level as defined in the «Chemistry Eurobachelor®» (e.g. Analytical Chemistry 3 (AC3); Biological Chemistry 3 (BC3); Chemical Engineering 3 (CE3); Inorganic Chemistry 3 (IC3); Organic Chemistry 3 (OC3); Physical Chemistry 3 (PC3));
- University Master (Level-4):a person at the end of a Master degree in one of the specialized chemistry areas in agreement with the «Chemistry Euromaster®» requirement (Computational Chemistry 4 (CC4); Conservation Science 4 (CS4); Advanced Organic Chemistry 4 (AOC4)).
The purpose of the training event is to show to the participants the EchemTest features and functionalities.
EchemTest is offered by ECTN for free to all member organizations.
