Video-Enhanced Automatically-Graded Web-Based Pre-Lab Tutorials
Glenn Lo | Wed, 03/20/2019 - 11:36
In our freshman Chemistry laboratory course at Nicholls State University, tutorials (with embedded quizzes) are used as pre-lab assignments. The text and graphical information provide a sufficient basis to answer all the questions, but YouTube videos are embedded for students who may need additional help. The tutorials could be easily adapted for flipped instruction in high school and college lecture courses.
The Big Idea from AACT: Resources and the Power of Sharing

Attend a POGIL Workshop this Summer
It is the time of year when POGIL workshops are being planned and registration is open. The facilitation teams are awesome and it is a very worthwhile experience, not just about POGIL, but about teaching, learning, and how we think about our students.
Analogy Experiment—Projectile Pennies with Rutherford
Ben Meacham | Mon, 03/11/2019 - 12:18
Atomic theory is a common topic throughout any introductory chemistry course. It is likely that Rutherford’s gold foil experiment gets at least some attention in your course. I have used a simple activity that gives students an opportunity to replicate Rutherford’s experiment through an analogy experiment that may allow for easier conceptualization of the experiment itself and provide additional support for model development.

peergrade- Student Electronically Peer Edit
Chad Husting | Sun, 02/17/2019 - 09:03
A paper that is peer reviewed multiple times garners enormous amounts of feedback to the student that one teacher cannot provide. This site offers a manageable system to do just that without overwhelming the teacher with the task of grading.
