A series of short, focused multimedia resources was developed based on areas of the chemistry degree course with which students often have difficulty. The resources were generated by undergraduate project students using Microsoft PowerPoint and Adobe Connect. Incorporation of animations and other interactive elements was found to be difficult. Evaluation of student attitudes towards the resources revealed that they were appreciated by students and were particularly useful for distance learners and for examination revision. A number of improvements were suggested such as the inclusion of more in-depth content. The development of these types of resources can be carried out by final year undergraduate project students.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
