- Use of Doceri Software for iPad in Online Delivery of Chemistry Content - Free full text articleAbstract: Doceri software for iPad is useful for both synchronous online and asynchronous online delivery of chemistry course content. Using the Doceri wireless connection between the iPad and a personal computer that is running Adobe Connect, online synchronous instruction can be accomplished in which drawings can be completed by hand on the iPad. For asynchronous delivery, lectures can be easily recorded by Doceri on the iPad. As with synchronous lectures, the content on display can be easily annotated over, making it easy for the instructor to highlight materials while talking.
