Developing interactive multimedia learning materials for chemistry pre-lab training

Fern, Nicola; Milian, Julieta Litka

Abstract

This article is a progress update on a project investigating the impact of embedding interactive pre-lab materials into the preparation resources for 2nd year undergraduate students in an organic chemistry practical module. Materials were developed as part of a collaborative innovation grant that embedded students as collaborators in the development process. Resulting activities included a mixture of multimedia and active learning exercises, including animations, quizzes, videos, interactive simulations and 3D and 360-degree tours. Prototype evaluation results were used to refine the final version prior to release. A full evaluation is being carried out, and final results will be reported in a future article.
