American Chemical Society
Improving all people’s lives through the transforming power of chemistry
Project Overview
The American Chemical Society (ACS) partnered with Artisan to create Chemistry in Practice: Reduce the Spread of Viruses.
You remember the days when we were learning the ins and outs of masks, hand washing, and social distancing. ACS wanted to share a free resource with the world based in science. We worked with leading experts in the fields of infectious disease, medicinal chemistry, and healthcare to help people know what to do to protect themselves and others.
ACS does stringent accessibility testing on its courses. They challenged us to create highly engaging and interactive content. We embraced the challenge. In this course, you’ll find complex interactions that can be navigated with a keyboard and a screen reader, gamification elements, and more.
Chemistry We All Understand
It was important to create a course backed in science that everyone could understand and apply.
Science made simple
We worked with several experts in infectious disease to break down the science in ways we all could understand.
Day-in-the-life scenarios
Putting learners in real-life scenarios makes the content relevant and applicable.
Stringent WCAG requirements
We worked closely with ACS accessibility experts to ensure the course would reach the largest audience possible.

We were thrilled when this course won a Brandon Hall Excellence Award for Best Advance in Training Programs that Require Global Accessibility Standards.
