This report provides information
about a free-of-charge, trilingual
(Portuguese, Spanish, and English) game-based application that engages
high school and undergraduate students in reviewing the structural
theory of organic compounds in a challenging way. In Time Bomb Game,
students must disarm a time bomb on their own by correctly answering
random questions from a database with 621 questions. Students and
professors have tested and evaluated the app, and the results revealed
that the game design, content, playability, and usefulness are helpful
as a complementary didactic tool to provide students with the required
theoretical knowledge.
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.
