Abstract: Chemical education has to keep abreast of ongoing research and development in chemistry in light of the omnipresence of electronic data, information, knowledge and knowhow. Students/instructors have access to at least one kind of 'instant' electronic communication device, be it personal or shared. Curriculum / instruction, pedagogy and assessment need to be constantly modified for both lecture, laboratory and field activities. Frequent instructor - student interaction is necessary. Research and development, also in chemical education, by instructors are essential. One prominent aspect that distinguishes this present century from the past 20th century is the omnipresence of the Internet. The Internet facilitates ever faster and wider 'same time' accessibility to electronic information and com-munication worldwide. Now people everywhere could be equal in learning about things past, present and the near future given the opportunity, the will and necessary resources. They can receive and distribute information almost instantly. The likes of Google, Wikipedia, on-line publications, electronic databases, posted lectures and animations, social media, etc. make it possible for people to intelligently learn and communicate about their world and beyond Thus we are no longer confined to textbooks, monographs, paper-based publications, etc. Learners and instructors can dig into the world’s treasures of good data, information, knowledge and wisdom as much as they want. Now the challenge is how to benefit the most from what is available in terms and electronic and human resources. In the last few decades leading chemistry research works and their applications have undergone some significant transformations. However, textbooks and materials currently used to teach undergraduates lack behind realities in the field more than before. The mode of instruction in the lectures and student laboratories also lacks behind. We therefore have to concentrate more on present works in chemistry that will lead to application in the near future.
