Student-Generated Infographics for Learning Green Chemistry and Developing Professional Skills
Journal of Chemical Education, v98 n9 p2881-2891 Sep 2021
This paper addresses the incorporation of a scaffolded infographic project into a majors' organic chemistry laboratory. Students were given the freedom to choose their topic with the stipulation that it must be relevant to both organic and green chemistry. This scaffolded project consisted of the following eight phases: (1) summarizing and evaluating an existing infographic; (2) delving into green chemistry literature; (3) proposing infographic topic; (4) gathering components for the infographic; (5) analyzing infographic maker websites; (6) creating infographic and providing peer feedback on first drafts; (7) revising infographic and providing final feedback; and (8) posting infographic on Twitter. Since this was a semester-long project implemented in a remote environment, a variety of instructional technologies including "Flipgrid," "Perusall," "FeedbackFruits Peer Review," "Google Jamboard," and chemical drawing software were utilized. The analysis of the project's impact on cognitive gains through Student Assessment of Learning Gains and through pre- and post-test responses indicated the achievement of positive learning gains on green chemistry knowledge and skills. This activity was viewed favorably by students, with most indicating a desire for similar assignments implemented in future courses.
