Sanger, Michael J.; Campbell, Eddie; Felker, Jeremy; Spencer, Charles – Journal of Chemical Education, 2007
A research study was carried out to measure the effect of a computer animation as part of the assessment of conceptual understanding of second-semester general chemistry students. The major impact of the animation was observed to be in minimizing the difficulty students have in visualizing the particle motions for each distractor.

Addressing Student Misconceptions Concerning Electron Flow in Aqueous Solutions with Instruction Including Computer Animations and Conceptual Change Strategies.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sanger, Michael J.; Greenbowe, Thomas J. – International Journal of Science Education, 2000
Investigates the effects of both computer animations of microscopic chemical processes occurring in a galvanic cell and conceptual-change instruction based on chemical demonstrations on students' conceptions of current flow in electrolyte solutions. Finds that conceptual change instruction was effective at dispelling student misconceptions but…
