“…With enough evidence of its efficacy, teachers seem to be likely to adopt ICT in their education (see Anonymous, 2017). The most developing field -mobile technology -should not be excluded at schools either (Libman & Huang, 2013;Sha, Looi, Chen, & Zhang, 2012). Apart from native functions such as calculator, camera GPS, etc., they offer to run apps which widen the usability of an ordinary smartphone and enable a various range of operations with it.…”

The Wolfram applications enable direct access to several main information sources (databases) and enable the data to be analysed easily. This offers developing information literacy on authentic material in chemistry education. For chemical compound identification: CAS, CID and Beilstein Numbers are used. In this paper, the authors focused on the ambiguousness of carbohydrate identification using these numbers. Altogether, there are 1498 compounds listed under the CAS Number, whereas CID and Beilstein Numbers are not assigned to every compound with CAS. During the analysis, several hundred entries with duplicate records were found, providing ambiguous information about the compounds. The authors focus on ambiguous database records, further analyse the physical properties of two compounds with several assigned identification numbers. This approach offers a suggestion on how to work with this topic in education, offering fruitful educational content.

“…Of great importance for progress in this field is the development of a cloud computing technology, which offers a wide access through cloud to numerous applications and enable storage of a large volume data and is very helpful e.g., in e-learning platforms. The mobile apps widely available in recent years can be grouped in reference/study guides, molecular viewers, research tools, utilities for laboratory experimentation and periodic table helpers [18]. Many of available apps can be very helpful in analytical chemistry study and research.…”

Main trends in development of analytical instrumentation involve design a measuring instruments, which are able to provide the largest possible amount of analytical information about analyzed material, but simultaneously also simplification and scaling-down analytical instruments towards a possible use directly by users without specialized training. Both those development trends are associated with another important tendency, which is the elimination of direct human effort in carrying out different operations in chemical analytical procedures by design of measuring systems, which are mechanized, robotized, or even completely automated involving various contributions of artificial intelligence. One of elements used also for further instrumental progress, is in recent decade the application of mobile phones in further modification of analytical devices for remote and personal use. The potential utility value of a concept to equip mobile-phones in chemical sensors can be considered as a very efficient way for improving the access to a personal analytical devices for instance in bioanalytical applications, smartphone-based biosensors, and integration of microfluidic devices and smartphones.

We have surveyed the main mobile application stores to identify the coverage of the biochemistry applications and what kinds of applications are available in such stores. We have found that instructional apps, such as Books and Flash Cards, are the most frequent mobile applications, with 46 occurrences. In terms of subject covered by these applications, the most frequent topics are those related to genes and nucleic acids (20 occurrences), and proteins and amino acids (19 occurrences). With the survey we concluded that online stores have to improve their search engines to allow more accurate searches, and biochemistry applications are still presenting information in a traditional way, not exploring the use of connectivity and interactivity allowed by mobile devices.
