This project introduces an innovative flipped lab model combined with an electronic lab notebook (ELN) tailored for food chemistry laboratory courses. The primary goal was to restructure traditional lab workflows by shifting the documentation workload from the postlab phase to the prelab and lab phases, thereby preventing overlap between the preparation and documentation phases of different laboratory tasks. The flipped lab approach emphasizes an intensive and structured prelab phase supported by digital media, including customized videos and comprehensive experimental protocols, allowing undergraduates to manage their time flexibly and prepare more effectively. The use of a tailored ELN not only helps the undergraduates in organizing and documenting their lab activities but also enhances their digital competencies, a crucial skill in their future careers. The ELN, integrated into the existing laboratory management system, offers a seamless experience, streamlining laboratory workflows and ensuring ease of use. A key factor for the success of this model is the broad acceptance of the ELN, achieved through its customization to specific workflows and its easily accessible, low-threshold entry.
