Pierre-Edouard Danjou; Saâd Bouhsina; Sylvain Billet; Francine Cazier-Dennin – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The year 2020 will be remembered as the year of COVID-19 and its subsequent lockdowns. The time to return to face-to-face teaching has arrived, but the shadow of the disease still hangs over teachers, students, and society. Disruption in teaching can still occur for students, or even teachers, if they are either diagnosed as COVID-19 positive or…

Brandon Thrope; Alan Rogerio Ferreira Lima; Alexandre Henrique Pinto – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Recently there is an increasing need for experiments that can be conducted remotely. In this sense, this paper presents three experiments about materials science and an X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique that can be taught and performed entirely remotely. The first experiment is about the calculation of lattice parameters, atomic radii, and…

Rose, John; Pennington, Richard; Behmke, Derek; Kerven, David; Lutz, Robert; Paredes, Julia E. Barker – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
A series of organic chemistry synthesis problem sets were provided to students. Potential solution pathways and strategies were recorded on video by the instructor and provided to students electronically via YouTube. Performance on the end-of-semester synthesis exam showed significant gains, with the average increasing by 13% after the…

D'Ambruoso, Gemma D.; Cremeens, Matthew E.; Hendricks, Brett R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
Instructional videos have been prepared using Adobe Captivate software to create animated tutorials to capture instrument and molecular modeling software simulations and to allow for increased independent hands-on instrument use by students and faster training for instructors and teaching assistants. The videos are available on YouTube and can be…

Milner-Bolotin, Marina – Journal of Chemical Education, 2012
Interactivity and inquiry-based learning science are effective ways of helping students overcome their perception of chemistry as an alien and abstract topic and instead approach the subject as a creative way of understanding ideas and applying mastered concepts to new contexts. Data acquisition systems are an extremely useful form of educational…
