W. Russ Algar; Noureddine Elouazizi; Jaclyn J. Stewart; E. Jane Maxwell; Tanya Tan; Zuxing Zhang; Robin Stoodley; José R. Rodríguez Núñez; Andrea S. Terpstra; Jason G. Wickenden – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
To develop expertise, novice chemistry students require deliberate practice with immediate and thoughtful feedback. Whereas opportunities for practice are often abundant, opportunities for feedback tend to be much scarcer. To address this challenge, we collaborated with students to develop a flexible and scalable online platform called…
