Instead of Collisions Higher Education
Collisions Higher Education alternatives
Collisions Higher Education teaches college chemistry through digital games covering more than 55 introductory and general chemistry concepts. Its eight areas include radii trends, ionization energy, acid strength, Lewis structures, ionic bonding, phase-change energy, LeChâtelier’s principle, and intermolecular forces. Leveled challenges and exploratory sandboxes support practice, while molecular modeling and reaction simulation add interactive work. Instructors receive progress reports, performance reports, content overviews, quick-start guides, formative assessments, and extension assignments. Instructor access is free; student subscriptions cost $15 per year and connect to an instructor’s class.

A switch may make sense because access is limited to US college and university educators and students, Playmada has ceased operations, and email, phone, and training support are unavailable. Student accounts are deleted each July 1, and unused instructor accounts are deleted after 12 months. Alternatives change the format: some offer virtual laboratory experiments, broad science simulations, or detailed molecular structures. Compare chemistry depth, experiment or game style, classroom workflow, LMS support, device requirements, and pricing. Also decide whether broader subjects, offline access, active guidance, or open-ended modeling matter more than Collisions HE’s focused game curriculum.
