A "Student Membership" is designed to give you, an individual chemistry student, access to the resources that will help you learn chemistry concepts and skills, and apply that understanding to solving the types of problems you will find on chemistry exams.
If you are a parent undertaking "home schooling" with your child, a "Student Membership" is probably the best option for you.
If you would like to discuss other options, please contact us.
The AUS-e-TUTE learning resources an individual student member has access to include:
A "Student Membership" does not give you access to teaching resources (worksheet wizards, quiz wizards, interactive learning activites, stimulus resources, card games, problem-solving templates).
A "Student Membership" is unsuitable for teachers (unless you are a teacher who has never studied, or taught, chemistry and would therefore like access to resources that will help you understand the concepts and skills you will need to teach).
A "Student Membership" costs $50(AUD) per year.
You can convert $50(AUD) to another currency, for example, US, Canadian or New Zealand dollars, or British pounds, on the Registration page.
You can register as an AUS-e-TUTE "Student Member" on the Registration page.
A "Teacher Membership" does not give you, nor your students, access to games, tests, exams, drills, homework checkers, quiz wizards, interactive learning activities, or stimulus resources.
If you want you and your students to be able to access all these other Teaching and Learning Resources then you will need a Group Membership.
A "Teacher Membership" is unsuitable for students.
A "Teacher Membership" costs $75(AUD) per year.

About AUS-e-TUTE's Teaching and Learning Resources
For each chemical concept or skill, there are number of different types of resources available.
These resources are divided into two different categories of resources:
(I) Learning Resources:
Learning resources are designed to help a student understand a chemical concept or skill and help them apply their understanding to solve problems in chemistry.
These resources help students help themselves, that is, to help students become more autonomous learners.
(II) Teaching Resources:
Teaching resources are designed to help chemistry teachers teach chemistry by providing resources to stimulate interest, provide a problem-solving framework, and to test their students' abilities to solve problems.
The teaching and learning resources available in each category include:
A resource type that is interactive indicates that the resource requires the student to perform an action, for example by entering information, clicking buttons, moving items on the page, etc.
These resources (interactive) can not be printed or saved.
You must be online and logged-in to the AUS-e-TUTE website to access these resources (interactive).
The only resources that can be "printed" are the worksheets you make using "worksheet wizards", the "card games", "problem-solving templates" and the "Pracs".
The "results" of a student's online quiz can also be saved and/or printed.
Note that not every tutorial has a corresponding complete set of all these Teaching and Learning resources, but new resources are regularly added to the website.
No advertisements (ads) are displayed in the Members ONLY areas of the AUS-e-TUTE website.
Advertisements (ads) are only displayed on the "free-to-view" areas of the website which are available to non-members.
Tutorials
A "tutorial" is a learning resource that targets a particular chemistry concept or skill.
Tutorials are designed for High School Chemistry students, or first year university students (who have very little previous knowledge of chemistry).
A number of "tutorials" are available as a "free-to-view" resource (AUS-e-TUTE membership is not required to access these "free tutorials").
The list of these "free tutorials" is available on AUS-e-TUTE's homepage
In general, tutorials have the following structure:
⚛ Key Concepts which are a summary of the main ideas, concepts and/or skills, covered in the tutorial.
⚛ In depth explanation, and/or derivation, of the concept and/or skill.
⚛ Worked examples of applying this concept and/or skill to solving problems.
If the text of the tutorial refers to a different concept or skill, a link is provided to the tutorial on that concept or skill.
If a concept, quantity or "law" has a number of alternative names in common use, we have tried to include these alternative names in the tutorial.
Similarly, if alternative spellings are in common use and are acceptable IUPAC spellings, these are also included in the tutorial.
In the areas of nomenclature, we follow IUPAC recommendations (but we include other names in common use, or previous names that are no longer recommended by IUPAC but that the student may encounter in older literature or non-chemistry literature).
In general, the worked examples all follow the same problem solving strategy which we refer to as the StoPGoPS approach.
This strategy provides a framework for how to solve problems in chemistry and includes a step for students to reflect on their solution to a problem and see if it is sensible before moving on to the next problem.
Each tutorial in the Members ONLY area of AUS-e-TUTE's website contains links to the other learning resources corresponding to this tutorial such as games, tests, exams, drills, and homework checkers.
In general, a "game" is a learning resource designed to test a student's knowledge of a concept or skill.
Student Members, and students and teachers who are registered with a Group, have access to "games".
Teachers who register as a Teacher Member DO NOT have access to "games".
For each tutorial there will be a corresponding game.
Each "game" should take a student up to 10 minutes to play (depending on the type of game and the student's knowledge of the topic).
There are numerous different types of "games" available to members.
The type of game available for a tutorial is based on the type of concept and/or skill being addressed.
In many of the games, an individual student competes against the computer in a game.
The student must answer a question correctly in order to make a move in the game.
Other games might require a student to place items in the correct order, or to move items to the corresponding category, or to match an item to another item or category.
If a student performs poorly in a "game", then they should review the information in the "Key Concepts" and "Explanation" section of the corresponding tutorial.
If a student performs well in a "game", they should move onto the corresponding "test".
Each game in the Members ONLY area of AUS-e-TUTE's website contains links to the other learning resources corresponding to this game such as the tutorial, test(s), exam(s), drill, and homework checker.
For each tutorial there is at least one corresponding test.
A "test" is a learning resource designed to test a student's understanding of the concept and/or skill.
Student Members, and students and teachers who are registered with a Group, have access to "tests".
Teachers who register as a Teacher Member DO NOT have access to "tests".
In general, each test contains 10 questions in a similar format and can be completed in about 20 minutes (depending on the ability of the student and the complexity of the concept and/or skill being tested).
As soon as the student answers a question, they are given immediate feedback.
If they have answered the question correctly, the feedback given is that the answer is correct.
If they have answered the question incorrectly, the feedback includes a worked solution to the question.
The student should compare their answer with the worked solution in order to identify where they went wrong and why before proceeding to the next question.
If a student performs poorly on the test(s), they should review the worked example section of the corresponding tutorial.
The student may also benefit from answering the questions in the corresponding "drill" before moving on to the corresponding "exam".
If a student performs well on the test(s), they should move onto the corresponding exam.
Each test in the Members ONLY area of AUS-e-TUTE's website contains links to the other learning resources corresponding to this test such as the tutorial, game, exam(s), drill, and homework checker.
An "exam" is a learning resource designed to examine a student's ability to apply their knowledge and understanding of a concept and/or skill to solve problems.
Student Members, and students and teachers who are registered with a Group, have access to "exams".
Teachers who register as a Teacher Member DO NOT have access to "exams".
Each exam question relates directly to the information in the corresponding tutorial, but may draw on knowledge and understanding of other concepts and/or skills as well.
A typical "exam" is a set of 10 questions and should take about 30 minutes to complete (depending on the ability of the student and the complexity of the concept and/or skill being examined).
In general, each "exam" has the following format:
⚛ a few multiple choice questions
⚛ a few short answer questions
⚛ a few longer response questions
As soon as a student answers a question they will receive immediate feedback about their answer.
If they have answered the question correctly, the feedback given is that the answer is correct.
If they have answered the question incorrectly, the feedback includes a worked solution to the question.
The student should compare their answer with the worked solution in order to identify where they went wrong and why before proceeding to the next question.
If a student has trouble answering "exam" questions, the teacher may direct them to the corresponding "interactive learning activity" (only available to Group members).
Each exam in the Members ONLY area of AUS-e-TUTE's website contains links to the other learning resources corresponding to this exam such as the tutorial, game, test(s), drill, and homework checker.
A "drill" is a learning resource that provides a student with endless practice at answering questions based on a particular concept and/or skill.
"Drills" are particularly useful in helping students gain confidence in calculations or in nomenclature.
Student Members, and students and teachers who are registered with a Group, have access to "drills".
Teachers who register as a Teacher Member DO NOT have access to "drills".
Questions are presented to the student one at a time.
If the student answers correctly, they are given feedback to this effect and can get a new question to answer.
If a student answers incorrectly, they are given feedback to this effect, and should try again.
If the student still answers the question incorrectly they may choose to display a worked solution.
The student should study the approach given to solve the problem and use this as a framework to answer the next question.
A tally is kept of how many questions the student has attempted, and how many of those questions were answered correctly.
"Drills" are particularly useful for a student who has struggled to answer the questions in the corresponding test correctly.
As the student answers drill questions, reviews the worked solutions, and answers more drill questions, they should see the number of correct responses increase, and hence gain more confidence in their ability to answer these questions.
When the student feels sufficiently confident, they should attempt the corresponding "test" again.
Each drill in the Members ONLY area of AUS-e-TUTE's website contains links to the other learning resources corresponding to this drill such as the tutorial, game, test(s), exam(s), and homework checker.
"Homework Checkers" are a learning resource available for a number of tutorial topics, especially calculation-based topics.
Student Members, and students and teachers who are registered with a Group, have access to "homework checkers".
Teachers who register as a Teacher Member DO NOT have access to "homework checkers".
As the name suggests, the student can enter the data for the calculation into the corresponding fields, then click a button to be shown the relevant calculation and answer.
This enables the student to compare his/her calculation and answer with the answer given by the "homework checker".
These resources are designed to help students help themselves (become more autonomous learners).
Flash cards are a learning resource available for concepts that need to memorised.
These are an electronic version of the paper flash cards you are probably already familiar with.
"Flash cards" are only available to students and their teachers who have registered with a Group (Group membership).
Student members and teachers registered as as Teacher Members) DO NOT have access to "flash cards".
"Worksheet wizards" are a teaching resource designed to help teachers quickly make a printable worksheet or quiz for their students.
"Worksheet wizards" are only available to teachers who have registered as a Teacher Member, or, as teachers who have registered with a Group Membership.
Students (either Student members or students who are part of a Group membership) DO NOT have access to "worksheet wizards".
Each "worksheet wizard" is linked to the concept and/or skill targeted in a particular tutorial.
A teacher clicks on the link to the "worksheet wizard", enters the number of questions they want on the worksheet, then clicks the "Prepare Worksheet" button.
The printable worksheet opens in a new window (or a new tab, depending on your browser).
You can watch our YouTube video of how to make a worksheet here.
(Video will open in a new window, or new tab, depending on your browser)
Note that every time you prepare a "worksheet" on the same topic you will get a different, but similar, set of questions.
No two "worksheets" you prepare using the same "worksheet wizard" will be the same.
Each "worksheet" you prepare will be made up of 3 sections:
(i) A set of numbered questions (1, 2, 3, ... etc)
("learning resources" are only accessible by Student and Group Members)
(iii) The answer to each question (numbered 1, 2, 3 .... etc)
If your students will need access to other resources or equipment, such as a Periodic Table, calculator, or data sheet, then the URLs for these resources available online to members will also be included in their own section on the prepared "worksheet".
Teachers are using the "worksheet wizards" to prepare:
⚛ worksheets for their students to complete at school or at home.
Print off the prepared "worksheet" and make the required number of copies of the entire "worksheet" for students (questions, learning resource URLs, and answers).
⚛ quizzes for the students to complete at school or at home.
Print off the prepared "worksheet" then cut off the answer section before making the required number of copies for students so that students have only the questions (with or without the learning resource URLs section) but do not have the answers.
Some teachers prefer to mark these quizzes themselves using the cut-off answer section, others get the students to mark their own quiz by displaying the answers at the end of the quiz.
Alternatively, some teachers make the required number of copies of the "worksheet" for their students and then cut off the answer section.
The students are given the quiz, then, when they have completed the quiz, they are given the answers (with or without the URLs to the corresponding learning resources) so they can mark their own work.
Note that if you have registered with a Group, you can provide the students with the learning resource URLs so they can go to the relevant tutorial, game, test(s), exam(s) and drill to help them identify where they went wrong and why).
If you would prefer your students to do their "worksheet" (or quiz) online, then you should use AUS-e-TUTE's Quiz Wizards.
"Quiz wizards" are a teaching resource designed to help teachers gauge their students' knowledge and understanding of a topic.
"Quiz wizards" are only available to students and teachers who have registered with a Group.
Individual Student Members and individual Teacher Members DO NOT have access to "Quiz wizards".
Each "Quiz wizard" produces a set of multiple choice and/or short-answer questions based on the concept and/or skill targeted in a particular tutorial.
Each student clicks on the relevant "Quiz wizard" link, enters their name, email address to send quiz results, and the number of questions, then clicks the "begin quiz" button.
Questions are presented to the student one at a time.
When the student has responded to the question the next question appears.
Note that answers are NOT displayed for the "quiz" questions, and there are no worked solutions for the student to review.
At the end of the quiz the student's results appear in a new window, including a link to the relevant tutorial so that a student who has performed poorly on the "quiz" can revise the concept and/or skill.
The student may:
⚛ Print off his/her results
⚛ Save his/her results
⚛ Email his/her results to the teacher
Note that a different, but similar, set of questions is produced every time the "begin quiz" button is clicked.
This means that each student receives a similar, but different, set of questions even if they are all doing the quiz at the same time.
(Helps to solve any possible 'cheating' problems.) This also means that a student can repeat the "quiz" and get a different, but similar, set of questions the next time.
This is particularly useful for students who performed poorly the first time, then reviewed the tutorial, game, test(s), exam(s) and/or drill(s) before making a second attempt at the "quiz".
If you would like to see how easy it is use these "Quiz wizards" you can watch the YouTube video.
(Video opens in a new window, or a new tab, depending on your browser.)
Teachers are using the "Quiz wizards" in different ways:
⚛ as a quiz during class time to guage students' understanding and knowledge of a topic
⚛ as a quiz to be completed at home to guage students' understanding and knowledge of a topic
⚛ as homework with one or more students who have fallen behind (or moved ahead of) the other students in the class so that students can more effectively work at their own pace
"Interactive Learning Activities" are a teaching resource that provide a scaffolded approach to applying a concept and/or skill in order to solve problems.
"Interactive learning activities" are only available to students and teachers who have registered with a Group.
Individual Student Members and individual Teacher Members DO NOT have access to "interactive learning activities".
Each "interactive learning activity" is based on the concept and/or skill in a tutorial.
The student is presented with the problem to solve, and the rationale behind solving the problem.
The student is then provided with the first step in solving the problem.
If the student does not successfully complete the first step, further assistance is provided.
When the student successfully completes the first step, the next step appears.
The student is therefore guided, step-by-step, through the problem solving process until the problem is solved.
Teachers are using the "interactive learning activities" to
⚛ help students who are struggling to solve problems on a particular topic
⚛ allow students to move through the teaching program at an accelerated rate
⚛ provide their students with meaningful learning activites when the teacher is absent from Class
Note that these "interactive learning activities" are a new type of resource being added to AUS-e-TUTE's members only area and so are still limited in number.
"Stimulus resources" are teaching resources designed to stimulate interest in a particular topic.
"Stimulus resources" are only available to students and teachers who have registered with a Group.
Individual Student Members and individual Teacher Members DO NOT have access to "stimulus resources".
In general, "stimulus resources" take the form of:
⚛ a short article relevant to the topics that are studied in High School Chemistry or Introductory University Chemistry Courses
⚛ a list of AUS-e-TUTE tutorial(s) relevant to the article
⚛ some suggested questions for the students to answer about the chemistry in the article
⚛ suggestions for practical investigations that the students could design and perform themselves
The article may look at an interesting historical incident, or, at recent developments in chemistry, or it may look at the chemistry of a useful mixture, element or compound, or, at the development and/or application of a particular model or law.
New "stimulus resources" are added regularly.
Because these articles relate to chemistry in the real world, they usually have a focus on one topic but will also call on students' knowledge and understanding of other topics.
Teachers are using "stimulus resources" in different ways:
⚛ to provide students with "real world" examples of chemistry in action
⚛ to help students develop the ability to pose appropriate questions about what they read, hear and see in the media and advertising (including on the internet)
⚛ to help students produce testable hypotheses
⚛ to help students design meaningful experiments to test hypotheses
⚛ to help students distinguish between, and produce, reports designed for different types of audiences
If you would like to see an example of the type of resources included in the "stimulus resources" you can subscribe to AUS-e-NEWS, AUS-e-TUTE's free quarterly online newsletter.
"Card games" are a teaching resource designed to give your students repetitive practice at a particular skill such as naming elements and compounds.
"Card games" are only available to teachers who have registered as a Teacher Member, or, as teachers who have registered with a Group Membership.
Students (either Student members or students who are part of a Group membership) DO NOT have access to "card games".
Each "card game" relates to the concept and/or skill in a particular tutorial.
In general, each "card game" includes the cards and a set of instructions for playing 3 games:
⚛ "Patience" ("Concentration" or "Memory Game") for 1 player
⚛ "Rummy" for 2 or more players
⚛ "Bingo" for 2 or more players
You print off the card game (and the instructions), then make the required number of "cards" for the students (if you laminate them, or place them in plastic card sleeves, they will survive longer).
Students follow the instructions provided to play one of the "card games" using these cards.
Problem Solving Templates are a printable resource designed to help students develop a structured approach approach to solving problems involving a particular concept or skill.
Each template is aligned with a particular tutorial and the steps in the template reflect the steps used in the "worked examples" section of the tutorial.
"Problem Solving Templates" are only available to teachers who have registered as a Teacher Member, or, as teachers who have registered with a Group Membership.
Students (either Student members or students who are part of a Group membership) DO NOT have access to "Problem Solving Templates".
You print off the Problem Solving Templates (includes references to the other relevant learning resources on this topic), then copy the required number of "templates" for the students.
Note: If you laminate them the students can use whiteboard markers to write on them then you can wipe them clean and re-use them.
Practical investigations are an important part of studying chemistry so we have included some pracs that could be used when teaching particular concepts or skills.
Some of these practical activities are recommended as demonstrations only while many others could be safely undertaken by students.
Before using one of our pracs you will need to conduct your own safety checks so that they comply with your local regulations.
"Pracs" are only available to students and their teachers who have registered with a Group (Group membership).
Student members and teachers registered as as Teacher Members DO NOT have access to "pracs".
How do I know if AUS-e-TUTE has resources for my Chemistry Course (chemistry topics)?
Before you join AUS-e-TUTE you will want to know that we have resources that cover the Chemistry topics you will studying or teaching, and that these resources are designed for your level of education.
Firstly, you can browse through the tutorials that are currently available free to non-members, these are listed on our index page.
If you find tutorials available for your topics, then there will be other Members ONLY resources linked to these tutorials.
The language, including equations and formulae, in the tutuorial will indicate who the resources are designed for (in general, all our resources are designed for High School Chemistry or First Year University students).
Second, you can use our "search for a resource" page which is available free to non-members to see what resources are available for your topic (use the name of your topic or a keyword or search term to search for a resource).
This page will generate a list of clickable links for each resource corresponding to your search term or keyword.
This will help you see what type of resources, and the number of resources, are currently available to members on this topic.
Please note that AUS-e-TUTE regularly adds new resources.
Please also note that the search results do not currently include links to "stimulus resources" or "card games".

Any student, or student or teacher registered with a "Group", can click on the Tutorial, Game, Test, Exam, Drill or Homework Checker, link to be taken directly to that resource.
Students and teachers registered with a "Group" can also click on the Interactive Learning Activity, Stimulus Resources, and Quiz Wizard links to be taken to that resource.
Note that the first time in a session that you click one of these links you will be asked to enter your username and password (because you are entering a different area of the website)
Teachers registered with a "Group" can also click the Worksheet Wizard link to be taken to the resource that will make a printable worksheet, or, a "card game" link to open up the printable card game resource.
Note that the first time in a session that you click one of these links you will be asked to enter your username and password (because you are entering a different area of the website)
⚛ Use the "Quicklinks" provided at the top of the page to go to the relevant topic, then scroll down through the list of resources, clicking any that you can access as described in the dot-point above.
For example, clicking the "Stoichiometry" "quicklink" will take you to the "Stoichiometry" section, scrolling down this section you will come to the "percentage composition" set of resource links.
⚛ Use the "find on this page" (or "find in this page", or "find") tool in your browser to enter a keyword and let your browser find the set of resources on this topic for you.
For example, enter percentage and the browser will find all our resources that include "percentage" in the name. Click on the type of resource you want to access as described in the first dot-point above.
Enter a keyword or search term, click the "search" button, and a list of resources relevant to your keyword will appear.
When you click on one of the resource links you will be asked for your username and password (if you have not already logged-in) and if you have the type of membership that gives you access to this resource you will be taken directly to that resource.
⚛ Use one of AUS-e-TUTE's Syllabus Study Guides.
Each Syllabus Study Guide provides a complete set of links to all the Teaching and Learning Resources directly relevant to that syllabus.
For example, you will find a Chemistry Syllabus Study Guide for each Australian State and Territory High School Chemistry Syllabus.
If we do not have a Syllabus Study Guide for your Syllabus, you can ask us to write one.
A "Quicklink" to the Syllabus Study Guides is provided at the top of the Members ONLY index page.
Clicking this link will take you straight to the section containing links to all the currently available Syllabus Study Guides.
For Australian High School Chemistry students, you can click on the relevant area of the Australian map at the top of the index page to be taken straight to your Syllabus Study Guide.

Can I link to a particular AUS-e-TUTE resource from our School's website (or other website)?
We understand that you and/or your School, may have its own way for students and teachers to access teaching and learning resources from a centralised calendar and/or website.
You can add links to AUS-e-TUTE resources to this calendar and/or webiste.
First, you need to navigate to the resource(s) you want to link to.
Copy the entire URL of the resource (from the address bar in your browser).
AUS-e-TUTE's website is very particular about URLs, you need to make sure you use the correct URL (starting with https://www.ausetute.com.au)
When you create the link to this resource in your calendar and/or website, make sure that you use the entire URL (URLs are also cAsE SenStiTiVe, and, our URLS always end in .html).
When a student or teacher clicks on the link you have created they will be asked for their username and password (unless they have already logged-in).
If the username and password is correct, and they are allowed to access that resource, they will be taken directly to that resource.
If the username and password is incorrect, or, if they do not have permission to access that resource, they will be taken to the default "error page".
What to do if you can't find the resources you need, or, want to suggest new topics and/or resources

How to change your membership from one type to another type
We understand that you may be a teacher who opted to join AUS-e-TUTE as a "Student Member" or as a "Teacher Member" in order to find out whether AUS-e-TUTE's resources really will be helpful to you and your students before paying for a more expensive "Group Membership".
If so, it is possible to change your membership from a "Student Membership" or a "Teacher Membership" to a "Group Membership" if you contact us within the first 30 days of your membership and let us know that you would like to change your membership to a Group Membership.
In your email, please indicate whether we should:
(a) Invoice your school for the full amount of the "Group Membership" (if the school will re-imburse you for the cost of your original membership)
(b) Invoice you for the full amount of your "Group Membership" minus the cost of your original membership (if the school paid for your orginal membership)
After you contact us, we will email you the relevant "Group Membership Form".
You complete the form and return it to us (as per the instructions on the form).
We email you an invoice for the cost of your "Group Membership" (as per the information provided in your email).
You (or your school's bursor) pay the invoice.
After we have been notified that your payment has been made, we email you the list of usernames and passwords for students and teacher(s) to use to access AUS-e-TUTE's teaching and learning resources.
What to do if you need to change the details of your membership
If you need to change the email address we need to use to contact you, please contact us.
In your email include the following information:
⚛ your username
⚛ the email address you want us to change (the "old" email address)
⚛ the email address you want us to use in future (the "new" email address)
If you are the "contact teacher" for a Group Membership and you need to change the list of student(s) and/or teacher(s) because a student and/or teacher has left the school (or the chemistry class), or, because a new student and/or teacher has been added to a class, then contact us and tell us the changes you would like to make to your "Group Membership".
In most cases there will be no additional charge for adding a few extra students and/or teachers during your membership year (unless the number of students to be added is excessive).
Similarly, we will not refund any money to you if the number of students and/or teachers falls below the number you paid for.
If you are an individual Student Member AUS-e-TUTE will email you about a week before your membership expires.
This email will direct you to the page containing the "Buy Now" button.
Click the button and complete the payment.
Paypal emails you the details of your payment and notifies AUS-e-TUTE that the payment has been made.
AUS-e-TUTE emails you a confirmation of renewal, including your new expiry date.
Usually you will retain the same username and password.
If you don't need to renew your membership, you don't need to do anything.
Your membership will expire on the "due date" and your username and password will be deleted from the database.
AUS-e-TUTE will email you to let you know that you no-longer have access to AUS-e-TUTE's Members ONLY resources.
If you are an individual Teacher Member AUS-e-TUTE will email you an invoice for renewal of your membership about a week before your membership expires.
You pay the invoice online by the "due date" on the invoice.

Your membership will expire on the "due date" and your username and password will be deleted from the database.
AUS-e-TUTE will email you to let you know that you no-longer have access to AUS-e-TUTE's Teachers ONLY area of the website.
Renewing a Group Membership is a little bit different.
AUS-e-TUTE will email the "Contact Teacher" about a month before your Membership is due to expire.
You will need to email us a new list of students and teacher(s) so that we can prepare the invoice.
Because AUS-e-TUTE's resources are constantly updated, we like to reward "Groups" that have been with us from the early days of the website.
We do this by invoicing you based on the same formula each year, this means, that if we change the formula we use to invoice new "Groups" then you will be unaffected, the new formula will not apply to your "Group" UNLESS you allow your membership to expire and your usernames and passwords are deleted from our database.
If this happens, you will be treated as "New Members" and the most recent formula for calculating the cost of your "Group Membership" will be applied.
AUS-e-TUTE will email the invoice to the "Contact Teacher".
You pay the invoice using your preferred payment option.
If you pay online using a credit card or Paypal account, then Paypal notifies AUS-e-TUTE that a payment has been made.
If you pay by electronic funds transfer (direct debit) then you will need to email the "Remittance Advice" to AUS-e-TUTE as soon as possible as proof of payment.
After AUS-e-TUTE has been notified that a payment has been made, we email the "Contact Teacher" the complete list of usernames and passwords, including the new expiry date.
Usually, continuing students and teachers will retain the same username and password.
If you don't need to renew your membership, you don't need to do anything.
Your membership will expire on the "due date" and your usernames and passwords will be deleted from the database.
AUS-e-TUTE will email the "Contact Teacher" to let you know that you no-longer have access to AUS-e-TUTE's Members ONLY resources.
If you are a student who is no-longer studying chemistry, or a teacher who is no-longer teaching chemistry, and you no longer need your AUS-e-TUTE membership, then you don't really need to do anything.
Your AUS-e-TUTE Membership will expire on the "due date" and your username and password will automatically be deleted from our database at that time.
Until the expiry date of your membership, we will still send you emails once a month, and a week before your membership expires.
You can request that we delete your contact details from our database so that you will no-longer receive these emails.
Contact us and tell us you no-longer want to receive emails from us.
If you do request removal of your contact details from our mail-out database this does not mean that you will receive a refund of any money you have paid to us.
AUS-e-TUTE Memberships are active for 1 year from the date your details are entered into our database (see terms and conditions for more information).
Removal of your contact details from the "mail-out" database does not cancel your membership.
