Education

Roy Tasker is currently Professor of Chemistry Education at the University of Western Sydney, and Provost of its Hawkesbury campus. His primary teaching responsibilities are in first-year chemistry, and his research interests are in how and what students learn using interactive multimedia resources. In particular, he wants chemistry to be taught with a focus on the amazing molecular world, keeping the symbolic abstraction of formulas and equations—that drives away too may creative and enquiring minds—to a minimum!
