Liu, Li; Ling, Yizhou; Yu, Jing; Fu, Qiang – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This study developed a complexometric titration simulation program based on LabVIEW. With built-in approximation and rigorous algorithms, the program can easily simulate and plot a single or a group of complexometric titration curves. On the basis of this program, we developed and implemented an online course to guide undergraduates to (i) compare…

Elford, Daniel; Lancaster, Simon J.; Jones, Garth A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
An educational escape activity was developed, embedding elements of both augmented and immersive virtual reality technologies, in an active learning environment. The mental visualization of abstract concepts can be difficult for students, inhibiting their ability to reason cogently regarding important topics of stereochemistry. Consequently, an…

Broyer, Rebecca M.; Miller, Kenny; Ramachandran, Shalini; Fu, Sheree; Howell, Karen; Cutchin, Steven – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
In recent years, immersive technology tools have burgeoned. After the release of the affordable Oculus Go headset and the Merge Cube, there has been increasing use of virtual, augmented, and extended reality (VR, AR, XR) in classrooms. Of significance to chemistry educators are the virtual lab simulations developed by Labster and HoloLab Champions…

Jameson, Greg; Brüschweiler, Rafael – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The Boltzmann distribution lies at the heart of essentially all of statistical thermodynamics. In most textbooks, this distribution is introduced either "ad hoc" or it is mathematically derived by constrained entropy optimization using the method of Lagrange multipliers. Unfortunately, when students enroll in a statistical thermodynamics…

Wong, Carrie H. S.; Tsang, Ken C. K.; Chiu, Wang-Kin – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The promotion of spatial skills is essential in chemistry education. However, the process of acquiring these skills can be monotonous if learning is limited to the memorization of Newman projections or 3D molecular kits. Existing approaches to learning using visualizing tools require physical models which limit learning activities to within the…
