Integration of Interactive Laboratory Videos into Teaching Upper-Undergraduate Chemical Laboratory Techniques

Students in advanced undergraduate chemistry laboratories are required to undertake a wide range of complex and multistep syntheses analytical procedures, prospective employers graduates seek students with proven skills these areas. Our approach has been use video resources which made available both ahead of, during, their laboratory classes assist preparation provide just-in-time self-help during the laboratory. In this study we evaluate implementation user-focused strategy improve students’ three-stage model, forethought, performance, self-reflection, assess impact effectiveness complement traditional teaching manuals staff (demonstrators). demonstrated autonomous learning by engaging videos using active passive approaches. The benefits our especially evident for who have English as second language identify different preferences. Increased student grades more effective staff-student supervision time requirements across third-year courses were implemented.
