“…One of the ways in which IT has been employed in chemical education is using various technology tools for engagement and assessment, for example, Wiki, Moodle, Web 2.0, Blackboard (Ballesta-Claver et al 2011;Biasutti and El-Deghaidy 2014;Farrell and Krause 2014;Franklin and Smith 2015;Morton and Uhomoibhi 2011), allowing to organise both asynchronous and synchronous modes of interaction. Electronic tools are feasible when designing interactive course textbooks (Nilsson et al 2010), optimising different computational procedures (Young 2011), assessing learning outcome achievement and providing feedback. Laboratory course is an essential component of the university chemistry study.…”

This article aims to determine the effect of a virtual chemistry laboratory on university student achievement. The article describes a model of a laboratory course that includes a virtual component. This virtual component is viewed as a tool of student pre-lab autonomous learning. It presents electronic resources designed for a virtual laboratory and outlines the methodology of e-resource application. To find out how virtual chemistry laboratory affects student scientific literacy, research skills and practices, a pedagogical experiment has been conducted. Student achievement was compared in two learning environments: traditional -in-class hands-on -learning (control group) and blended learning -online learning combined with in-person learning (experimental group). The effectiveness of integrating an e-lab in the laboratory study was measured by comparing student lab reports of the two groups. For that purpose, a set of 10 criteria was developed. The experimental and control student groups were also compared in terms of test results and student portfolios. The study showed that the adopted approach blending both virtual and hands-on learning environments has the potential to enhance student research skills and practices in analytical chemistry studies.

“…Nowick provides extensive 2D NMR spectra, but, as no answers are provided, this site has limited utility for students’ ability to master the basics of 2D NMR analysis . Other sites provide valuable resources about the analysis of NMR spectroscopy , or provide a database of useful spectra for instructors. − The utility of different web-based resources is detailed in a publication in this journal …”

2D NMR spectroscopy is regularly utilized for determination of organic structures. Problem-solving using a variety of 2D techniques is increasingly covered in the undergraduate curriculum. While several advanced texts provide some practice problems, these books are often expensive and aimed at graduate students. A free and publicly available set of 2D NMR problems with answers was developed to provide students an opportunity to develop their advanced structure elucidation skills.

“…2 Hence, it forms an integral part of virtually all science and engineering undergraduate curricula. 3,4 Chemistry majors would typically encounter the foundational aspects of spectroscopy in their general chemistry courses, and would then learn its theoretical basis and practical applications in their upper-division undergraduate studies. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy has become one of the most taught spectroscopic techniques because of its simplicity and wide applicability.…”

“…A most versatile tool, it served as the impetus for many fundamental discoveries across all length scalesfrom the extremely small such as in the determination of individual atomic masses, to the infinitely large such as in the observation of expanding galaxies . Hence, it forms an integral part of virtually all science and engineering undergraduate curricula. , Chemistry majors would typically encounter the foundational aspects of spectroscopy in their general chemistry courses, and would then learn its theoretical basis and practical applications in their upper-division undergraduate studies. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy has become one of the most taught spectroscopic techniques because of its simplicity and wide applicability. − In addition, the lectures can be easily supplemented with laboratory exercises since an IR spectrometer is relatively cheap to own and does not require complicated maintenance …”

In Situ Infrared Spectroscopy of NO_x Reduction Catalysts: A Laboratory Exercise for In-Person and Virtual Learning

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy and catalysis represent two of the most practically relevant topics in chemistry, but they are normally taught in separate contexts at the undergraduate level. Although IR spectroscopy is introduced to students as a tool for organic compound characterization, it also finds wide applicability in the investigation of catalytic reactions. Here we present a laboratory exercise that binds the concepts of IR spectroscopy and catalysis together in the study of nitrogen oxide abatement by selective catalytic reductiona reaction that is of industrial relevance and environmental importance. We originally designed the practical course for in-person instruction, but we adapted it into a virtual learning experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our analysis revealed that there was no significant difference between the performance of the in-person and virtual participants, suggesting that the online offering of the course could be a viable alternative to face-to-face instruction in case of extraordinary circumstances.
