Direct linkWinkelmann, Kurt; Keeney-Kennicutt, Wendy; Fowler, Debra; Lazo Macik, Maria; Perez Guarda, Paola; Joan Ahlborn, Connor – Interactive Learning Environments, 2020
Virtual worlds are increasingly popular in educational settings. In order to further usefulness in providing a laboratory education, almost 300 students participated in a study to determine the relative learning gains and attitudes related to performing two chemistry experiments in either the virtual world of Second Life (SL) or a real world…

Winkelmann, Kurt; Keeney-Kennicutt, Wendy; Fowler, Debra; Macik, Maria – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
Virtual worlds are a potential medium for teaching college-level chemistry laboratory courses. To determine the feasibility of conducting chemistry experiments in such an environment, undergraduate students performed two experiments in the immersive virtual world of Second Life (SL) as part of their regular General Chemistry 2 laboratory course.…

Winkelmann, Kurt; Scott, Matthew; Wong, Deborah – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
A small group of high school students performed a virtual laboratory experiment in Second Life that mimicked a real experiment in both its appearance and procedure. Lab report grades were equivalent to report grades for hands-on experiments, and the quality of students' results was similar. Results of an attitudinal survey show that students…

Zaccardi, Margot J.; Winkelmann, Kurt; Olson, Joel A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2010
A first-year laboratory experiment that utilizes concepts of electrochemical tip etching for scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is described. This experiment can be used in conjunction with any STM experiment. Students electrochemically etch gold STM tips using a time-efficient method, which can then be used in an instructional grade STM that…
