“…Galloway and Bretz found in a national study on learning in undergraduate chemistry courses that expectations for cognitive and affective learning in the laboratory course differ a lot among the student cohort, and that these expectations can also act as self-fulfilling prophecies. Several other studies have also pointed out the importance of addressing the affective domain in prelaboratory activities, ,,, where it was found that students felt better prepared through online videos , or that their positive attitude toward experimentation was increased through simulations . However, there is a wide range of different affections that influence learning.…”

An online video library comprising three different types of videos was used intensively by bachelor-level students before and throughout an introductory organic chemistry laboratory course, when presented and assigned to the experiments appropriately. An empirical study (N = 103) revealed that the utilization of videos and preferences for video types depend crucially on individual student characteristics, such as gender, study course, intrinsic motivation, and the self-perception of conscientiousness. Student assessment of the video library, a positive impact on students’ self-concept of ability, and an increase of knowledge in know-how tests on laboratory techniques of up to 100% indicate the benefits of the online video library on students’ cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning in a laboratory course.

Using Virtual Reality to Demonstrate Glove Hygiene in Introductory Chemistry Laboratories

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In recent years, immersive technology tools have burgeoned. After the release of the affordable Oculus Go headset and the Merge Cube, there has been increasing use of virtual, augmented, and extended reality (VR, AR, XR) in classrooms. Of significance to chemistry educators are the virtual lab simulations developed by Labster and HoloLab Champions and the VR app Nanome, which can be used to virtually manipulate chemicals and proteins. So far, however, there are no commercially developed products that address the transfer of chemicals and contaminants during experiments or procedures that require gloves. Herein, we discuss how VR can be used as an active learning approach to lab safety about correct glove hygiene. The work is the result of a collaboration among chemistry, computer science, and library faculty on a VR instructional module on glove hygiene. This experience is useful to bring a realistic and interactive laboratory experience to students who may have limited experience in a laboratory setting. Additionally, the project explores how to optimally use the academic library space to deploy the VR module to a large number of student users. Despite shortcomings we encountered in the first phase of development, we believe that, with technological improvements, there is significant potential for a virtual reality instructional environment that teaches glove hygiene when there may be limited access to physical laboratories.

“…The use of prelaboratory activities and the benefit of these activities for maximizing the learning opportunities within the laboratory class are well-known. , With the student graduates being technology-focused, there has been a shift in the delivery of these once paper-based prelaboratory activities to being more engaging and interactive. Engagement is now achieved through the incorporation of online quizzes, animated tutorials, videos, and virtual experiences. − Literature in the area of prelaboratory virtual tours and relative student confidence has shown that the students’ perceived familiarization and preparation were enhanced after interacting with a virtual laboratory class prior to a laboratory session …”

360° Virtual Laboratory Tour with Embedded Skills Videos

2020

This paper describes the design and effectiveness of a 360°(identified as 360) virtual laboratory tour which was implemented in a second-year undergraduate chemistry subject to familiarize the students with the research laboratory environment, equipment, and skills needed to undertake the subject and first laboratory session. We include step by step guides on how to produce a virtual laboratory tour using freeware and on how to produce and incorporate interactive videos into the tour. The virtual laboratory tour that we developed was given to the students prior to their first laboratory class and was well-received by students with 100% of students surveyed reporting that it was an effective learning aid. Virtual laboratory tours offer a promising option for creating a personalized online laboratory experience.
