Neil Francis Peirson – Research in Post-Compulsory Education, 2025
Virtual laboratories (VL) can provide students with learning experiences simulating practical experiments in a traditional laboratory. Evidence is presented that students believe in the truth of results from the VL as well as those from the traditional laboratory. The underlying reasons for these beliefs are explored, through Russell's description…

Yannan Chen; Tao Zhang; Xuejie Yue; Fengxian Qiu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
With the increase of waste paper, environmental pollution and atmospheric impact have become global problems. The cellulose contained in waste paper has the advantages of being renewable and biodegradable and can be applied to many fields to achieve sustainable development. At present, thermal management materials, as a new type of material, have…

Monroe, Christin B. – Journal of Science Education for Students with Disabilities, 2023
Text-to-speech (TTS) technology is a common accommodation available for students with disabilities. Despite the ubiquitous nature of TTS, this technology has not been explored in laboratory settings for neurodiverse college students. This study explores the adaptability of laboratory accessible TTS technology (originally developed for blind/low…

Tran, Kiet; Beshir, Anwar; Vaze, Abhay – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
A comparison of the experiences of both organic and analytical lab faculty during the COVID-19 pandemic distance learning initiative is described here. Faculty of both lab courses experienced four shared challenges in the transition to the online format: (1) experimental implementation; (2) assessments and postlab activities; (3) technological…

Gemmel, Philipp M.; Goetz, McKenna K.; James, Nicole M.; Jesse, Kate A.; Ratliff, Britni J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Student learning and course performance are often improved when students actively engage with content. However, pedagogical practices that foster active engagement often rely on student-student and student-instructor interactions that may be difficult to adapt to an online environment. Here we describe a Collaborative Learning program that…

This study introduces a modernized approach to classical volumetric titrations for the undergraduate chemistry curriculum. Leveraging smartphones and digital top-loading balances, we performed mass-based titrations and determined end points using digital color measurements. Our aim was to make classical wet chemistry more accessible and engaging…

Postgraduate engagement in delivering outreach activities is more commonplace than it once was. However, the impact on postgraduate students (typically studying for a Ph.D. degree) of participating in the delivery of these outreach activities has rarely, if ever, been recorded. The Bristol ChemLabS Outreach program has been running for ca. 17…
