A very simple and color-observable homemade Raman spectroscope with easy preparation is introduced by simply adding low-cost components (a transmission diffraction grating sheet, a magnifying glass, a paper mask, and a DPSS laser pointer module) to a consumer digital camera. The Raman spectral images and profiles of cyclohexane, carbon…

Video is a medium increasingly used in education. The styles of videos produced for academic purposes have been studied in the literature based mainly on those initially designed by instructors for use in MOOCs.
