The short answer is no. Although, the questions have gotten me thinking. It would be interesting to show a video clip or a molecular structure on the projection system during an exam and ask questions about it. It could also be useful to question students about the on-line content. I have been reluctant to do this the first year because of questions about access and fairness. Although just over the past year this has changed significantly. At the beginning of the school year I did have some resistance from students who thought it was unfair that I would expect them to use this resource. By the end of the year, I would have gotten the opposite response if I had taken it away.
