Abstract The Department of Chemistry at Indiana University offers four one-hour chemical information or chemical informatics courses on the undergraduate level and two three-hour courses on the graduate level. Most of the courses have been taught via teleconferencing across two campuses during the past two years, with some lectures delivered from England in one graduate course. A mix of free and commercial software and databases is used in the courses. Methodology, software, and cost figures will be presented. 5/12/2019
