David Keller; Jolanda Hermanns – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Scaffolds can be seen as a suitable tool to support students' learning chemistry. Digital task navigators, written scaffolds that support students in solving tasks in organic chemistry, were developed, used, and evaluated for this study. A paper task navigator was further developed into a digital task navigator, which included links to…

Balasubramanian, Bhavani; DeSantis, Chris; Gulotta, Miriam – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The COVID pandemic forced many higher education institutions to pivot and switch to an online learning environment with minimal preparation. This transition was put in place during the middle of the spring semester, in March. During this transition, instructors had to quickly learn the tools of online teaching, navigate platforms like Webex and…

Williamson, Vickie M.; Lane, Sarah M.; Gilbreath, Travis; Tasker, Roy; Ashkenazi, Guy; Williamson, Kenneth C.; Macfarlane, Ronald D. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2012
A prior study showed that students best make predictions about the outcome of opening a valve between two flasks containing a fluid or vacuum when they view both a demonstration video and a particulate animation, but the study showed no influence from the order in which these visualizations were used. The purpose of this current research was to…
