Video-Supported Case Study for Course Review in Quantitative Instrumental Element Analysis
Journal of Chemical Education, v100 n10 p3849-3858 2023
We present a showcase of our experience with videos complementing analytical chemistry lectures to familiarize undergraduate students with instrumental element analysis. This includes a detailed account of how we planned, produced, and utilized a video to review the course content at the end of the semester. The analytical case study focused on the determination of magnesium in two well water samples with emphasis on flame atomic absorption spectroscopy, while also comparing results with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy and titration measurements. During the lecture, we engaged students by asking them for suggestions on how to carry out the measurements before showing the respective video sections. A survey among the students revealed a remarkably positive response to this approach. We demonstrate our video production approach by making decisions and choices from the video production, such as recording and editing, explicit and conclude with practical advice for planning and producing similar videos to visualize case studies.
