“…At the national level, a collaboration between Beyond Benign and the ACS Green Chemistry Institute has led to the Green & Sustainable Chemistry Education Module Development Project, which is currently developing green and sustainable chemistry education resources for general and organic chemistry . Finally, at the global level, organizations such as the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) promote the integration of green chemistry into education, with many countries such as Brazil, , Canada, China, Indonesia, Israel, Malaysia, Russia, Spain, and Thailand joining the effort. Adding to these broad-based endeavors to integrate green chemistry, we have developed a method of incorporating green chemistry during remote instruction using student-generated infographics.…”

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: (i) summarizing and evaluating an existing infographic, (ii) delving into green chemistry literature, (iii) proposing infographic topic, (iv) gathering components for the infographic, (v) analyzing infographic maker websites, (vi) creating infographic and providing peer feedback on first drafts, (vii) revising infographic and providing final feedback, and (viii) 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.
