Ardith D. Bravenec; Karen D. Ward – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Chemistry simulations using interactive graphic user interfaces (GUIs) represent uniquely effective and safe tools to support multidimensional learning. Computer literacy and coding skills have become increasingly important in the chemical sciences. In response to both of these facts, a series of Jupyter notebooks hosted on Google Colaboratory…

Engelberger, Felipe; Galaz-Davison, Pablo; Bravo, Graciela; Rivera, Maira; Ramirez-Sarmiento, Cesar A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has swiftly forced a change in learning strategies across educational institutions, from extensively relying on in-person activities toward online teaching. It is particularly difficult to adapt courses that depend on physical equipment to be now carried out remotely. This is the case for bioinformatics, which typically…

Cahill, Samuel T.; Bergstrom Mann, Patrick E.; Worrall, Andrew F.; Stewart, Malcolm I. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a need for social distancing measures in public spaces and will have an important impact on university level teaching going forward. Remote methods to complete laboratory related activities are a potential means of students achieving practical credit while still isolating or social distancing. We outline the…

Harmer, Nicholas J.; Hill, Alison M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the move to online teaching and assessment. This has created challenges in teaching laboratory skills and producing assessments that are robust and fair. Our solution was to use bespoke laboratory videos to provide laboratory training and to generate unique data sets for each student in coursework and exams. For…

Sucre-Rosales, Estefanía; Fernández-Terán, Ricardo; Carvajal, David; Echevarría, Lorenzo; Hernández, Florencio E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Herein, we present an experience-based learning approach that uses the COVID-19 pandemics knowledge about virus spread and epidemics to establish an analogy between a simple epidemics model--the SIR model (susceptible--infected--removed), and a second-order autocatalytic reaction with subsequent catalyst deactivation. Our approach provides a…

Haydon; Karla-Luise Herpoldt; Kandise Van Wormer; Celine Abell; David Baker; Alena Khmelinskaia; Neil P. King – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Undergraduate research experiences can improve student success in graduate education and STEM careers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, undergraduate researchers at our institution and many others lost their work-study research positions due to interruption of in-person research activities. This imposed a financial burden on the students and…
