The following Moodle add-ins are useful for making use of molecular data files in courses, and providing 3D visualisations:

*[[Jmol filter]] - display a 3D interactive molecule anywhere in Moodle
*[[Jmol resource module]] - display a 3D interactive molecule as a specific configurable resource
*[http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=296 Java Molecular Editor question type] - ask students to design and submit a molecular structure.

'''Equations'''

The ability to enter equations into Moodle may be useful for chemistry and biochemistry educators. There are a variety of ways to do this:

*[[TeX filter]] - displays TeX notation as GIF images and will show full LaTeX implemention in Moodle 1.6 or later
*[[DragMath equation editor]] - a drag-and-drop equation editor that installs as a button in the regular editor, so that it is visible everywhere a user would enter text. Clicking the button launches an applet in a pop-up window so that the user can choose the parts of the equation.
*[http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/workswith/moodle.htm MathType] - a commercial product compatible with many text-editing and presentation software programs, that works with Moodle.
