Günther Thiele; Katherine A. Mirica; Kah Chun Lau; Sebastian Habig – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Augmented reality, virtual reality, mixed reality, and extended reality are becoming prominent in science education. However, in many reports on the matter, there is no clear differentiation between these different technologies. We comment on potential distinctions to avoid confusion and recommend a clear separation and naming of technology, as…

Bryan Fulmer; Ahn Duong; Hannah Palmer; Kevin G. Owens – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Digital learning tools and laboratory simulations have been an area of great interest not only due to the advancements of at-home learning but also by allowing students and institutions access to experiences they would not have otherwise due to the high cost of commercial instrumentation. The need for online learning tools became especially…

Ilia Kuzminov; Alexey Vokhmin; Kristina Sharaeva; Maxim Likhanov; Angelika Markovnikova; Andrey Vladimirovich Lyamin; Mikhail Vyacheslavovich Kurushkin – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Application of modern technologies, including virtual reality (VR) and eye-tracking (ET), to educational practice has been vigorously researched over the past decade with a focus on enhancing and improving school and university educational process and students' results. The main aim of this technological report is to describe an implementation of…

The latest developments in virtual reality (VR) are gaining attention in education as they are expected to provide risk-free, hands-on learning experiences. However, the use of VR in laboratory settings is still in its early stages of adoption. Therefore, it remains unclear whether these technologies will be widely adopted to educate students in…

Rianne van Dinther; Lesley de Putter; Birgit Pepin – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
One way of triggering students' interest in chemistry is making chemistry education more meaningful. Four characteristics of meaningful chemistry education (MCE) were identified in projects that involved a redesign of curriculum materials: daily life context, the need-to-know principle, students' input, and the macro--micro connection. Chemistry…

Nicole Calma-Roddin; Kevin Park; Jacqueline Keighron – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The three-dimensional nature of macromolecules is often difficult for undergraduate students to grasp. This leads to difficulties in understanding key concepts in Biochemistry, such as protein function and conformational change. Virtual reality (VR) technologies, which can aid students in three-dimensional visualizations, have been shown to…

Brenna Sermania; Nicholas VanFossen; Ray Steen; Michael Stewart; Paul L. Raston – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
We developed a gas-phase Fourier Transform InfraRed Scientific Instrument Simulator (FTIR-SIS, https://ftir.rastonlab.org/) in response to the unavailability of one during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown of 2020. It features an interactive interface that encourages students to explore different components of a typical FTIR, and it allows them to…

Zhao, Rui; Chu, Qingzhao; Chen, Dongping – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
This work presents an immersive molecular simulation tool (Manta) based on virtual reality technology, which enables students to explore "real" molecular structures and chemical reactions on-the-fly. Manta can work as a virtual classroom and even a playground for chemistry education, where students learn the progress of chemical…

Xiaoyang Gong; Bing Wei; Bradley W. Bergey; Ebony Terrell Shockley – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Computer simulations hold great potential for enhancing chemistry instruction. However, effectively integrating simulations in instruction depends in part on teachers' pedagogical reasoning about simulation affordances and instructional decisions within specific classroom contexts. The objective of this study was to investigate how two chemistry…

Seritan, Stefan; Wang, Yuanheng; Ford, Jason E.; Valentini, Alessio; Gold, Tom; Marti´nez, Todd J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Interactive molecular dynamics in virtual reality (IMD-VR) simulations provide a digital molecular playground for students as an alternative or complement to traditional molecular modeling kits or 2D illustrations. Previous IMD-VR studies have used molecular mechanics to enable simulations of macromolecules such as proteins and nanostructures for…

Daniel Elford; Simon J. Lancaster; Garth A. Jones – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
There is little doubt that motivation influences the extent to which individuals engage with online learning experiences. With the increasing role of digital technologies within chemistry higher education, this study illustrates how an augmented reality (AR)-supported educational escape activity (EEA), based on topics of inorganic stereochemistry,…

Marc A. Zambri; John R. De Backere – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Molecular symmetry and orbitals are two important chemical concepts which can be difficult for students to visualize in three dimensions; as such, instructors have traditionally adopted a variety of approaches to teach them including the use of physical models and digital renderings/resources. This paper describes a new mobile device application…

In a technology-enhanced learning environment and underpinned by a unique hybrid pedagogic model that borrows from gamification, constructivism, and experiential learning approaches, badges were purposefully used to foster engagement. This approach promoted the development of a mindset that identifies and appreciates the worth of a portfolio of…

Poh Nguk Lau; Siti Nur Aishah Binte Mohammad; Khee Nguen Low; Yek Tann Chua – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Guided by the 5E framework (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate), a buffer solution courseware was designed using "Articulate Rise," a content authoring tool. It was deployed in a freshman general chemistry course in the April semesters of 2022 and 2023. The courseware was a supplementary resource to support instructor-created…

VandenPlas, Jessica R.; Herrington, Deborah G.; Shrode, Alec D.; Sweeder, Ryan D. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The growing popularity of flipped, blended, and online learning, combined with the need to support a student population with increasingly diverse backgrounds, has led to the development and use of online materials to support students' learning of chemistry outside of a face-to-face classroom. Chemistry simulations provide opportunities to make…
