Ross Andrew Shalliker; Corey Manwaring – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Performing HPLC-based experiments in the undergraduate practical classroom is difficult because of the time required to perform an analysis. This limits the type of practical to one that undertakes a simple quantitative analysis. However, with the use of sophisticated simulators, such as the one employed in this exercise, more complex experiments…

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…

Sarah Alturkustani; Ashley Durfee; Olivia F. O'Leary; Siobhain M. O'Mahony; Conor O'Mahony; Mutahira Lone; Andreea Factor – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2025
Anatomy is fundamental to medical disciplines. However, its complexity can be challenging to learners, and traditional anatomy teaching may not be easily accessible. Virtual Reality has the potential to supplement anatomy education, but its effectiveness depends on students' willingness to accept it. This study aimed to measure students'…

Simic, Bojana; Mešic, Vanes; Ðapo, Nermin; Šapic, Iva Movre; Vidak, Andrej; Alic, Amina; Erceg, Nataša – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2023
Physics homework often boils down to solving end-of-chapter quantitative problems. For targeting different learning goals of physics education, different types of homework are needed. The aim of this research was to compare the effectiveness of simulation-based, video-based, and paper-and-pencil homework in developing an understanding about…

Thomas D. Varberg – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
An experiment for the undergraduate physical chemistry laboratory is described in which the Raman spectrum of liquid "para"-difluorobenzene is recorded and assigned. A density functional theory (DFT) calculation of the 30 normal modes of the molecule is undertaken using computational chemistry software. Students use group theory to…

White, Holly; Forbes, Cory T. – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2023
Undergraduate students may possess underdeveloped knowledge about water systems, particularly groundwater. The use of models and modeling have been employed in undergraduate classrooms to support students' learning about water. However, effective modeling requires spatial thinking skills, which undergraduate students may also need to develop.…
