Ahlstrand, Emma; Buetti-Dinh, Antoine; Friedman, Ran – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2018
We describe an interactive module that can be used to teach basic concepts in electrochemistry and thermodynamics to first year natural science students. The module is used together with an experimental laboratory and improves the students' understanding of thermodynamic quantities such as ?rG, ?rH, and ?rS that are calculated but not directly…

Guerin, Abby C.; Riley, Kristi; Rupnik, Kresimir; Kuroda, Daniel G. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
Hydrogen bonds are very important chemical structures that are responsible for many unique and important properties of solvents, such as the solvation power of water. These distinctive features are directly related to the stabilization energy conferred by hydrogen bonds to the solvent. Thus, the characterization of hydrogen bond energetics has…

Tortosa, Montserrat – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2012
In microcomputer based laboratories (MBL) and data loggers, one or more sensors are connected to an interphase and this to a computer. This equipment allows visualization in real time of the variables of an experiment and provides the possibility of measuring magnitudes which are difficult to measure with traditional equipment. Research shows that…

Huk, Thomas; Steinke, Mattias; Floto, Christian – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2010
Within the framework of cognitive learning theories, instructional design manipulations have primarily been investigated under tightly controlled laboratory conditions. We carried out two experiments, where the first experiment was conducted in a restricted system-paced setting and is therefore in line with the majority of empirical studies in the…

Mitchell, Eugene E., Ed. – COED Transactions, 1980
Described are applications of computer data acquisition to three laboratories in materials science at the United States Naval Academy. In each laboratory, data are input to a minicomputer, scaled using previously obtained and stored calibration factors to convert the transducer signals to load, displacement, temperature, etc., and then stored on…

Hinkelman, Don; Gruba, Paul – Language Learning & Technology, 2012
As blended language learning environments evolve within tertiary foreign language institutions, issues of power with regards to the privileging of electronic technologies come to the fore. Blended learning, or the principled mix of online and classroom-based activities, challenges the practices of traditional CALL and face-to-face teaching within…
