“…The software did not automatically store student responses, but students could voluntarily submit their choices. Galang et al created similar CYOA laboratory exercises for their general chemistry and introductory analytical laboratory courses with Microsoft Forms in a process similar to that of Groos et al 20 Once created, the forms were embedded into Canvas to be completed asynchronously. Student inputs were downloaded and stored to track student activity usage.…”

Remote delivery approaches to laboratory courses in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic have included a spectrum spanning passive options such as providing students with prerecorded videos of experiments to replacing in-person laboratory experiences with immersive virtual reality environments. While interactive activities that require students to make choices about experimental design or procedure, mimicking levels of inquiry present in in-person laboratory experiments, are preferred, creating custom activities of this type often require expensive equipment, a media production team, and knowledge of multiple programming languages. The open source, nonlinear storytelling platform, Twine, provides a free alternative that allows instructors to create custom interactive choose-your-own-adventure activities based on their existing laboratory curriculum and inclusive of text, images, and video clips. We used Twine to create a choose-your-own-adventure laboratory activity as the final experiment in a remote delivery format organic chemistry laboratory course that allowed students to obtain customized data based on their experimental choices. We expanded this work to create an entire course of Twine choose-your-own-adventure laboratory activities for a third term organic chemistry laboratory course.

“…The COVID-19 pandemic has also expanded experiences of remote collaborative work for which a wide variety of tools are available. Among these, Microsoft Forms is an intuitive application designed to create and share interactive questionnaires by groups of students; this application also implements simple methods of assessment and feedback. Padlet is a sort of virtual notice board to share resources from different media such as video and images in a very visual and attractive environment. − …”

Student-Generated Videos to Promote Understanding of Chemical Reactions

et al. 2023

Students were tasked with the creation of videos of ordinary reactions to promote significant learning of complex concepts underlying chemical transformations. Interactive infographics were used to deliver instructions. Afterward, students planned the experimental setup for the reaction execution and video recording using their mobile phones. The videos and an online questionnaire, also created by the students, were shared with other class members using the visual platform Padlet. The reasoning required to elaborate the questions contributed to a better understanding of the principles underpinning the chemical equation. An exit survey showed that planning and performing the activity were not time-consuming for the students. Marks attained by the students in questions related to chemical reactions improved after completing the activity.
