Abstract

Chemistry labs have a range of learning objectives (theory, practical skills, equipment training and safety awareness, amongst many others), the adaptation to online learning demanded creative and pedagogically-sound approaches to meet as many of the learning outcomes as possible. In traditional physical laboratories, there are ample opportunities for fun, between the chatter and the demonstrations and the group work. We wanted to bring that fun into the on-line learning experience because we are convinced that having fun promotes learning and reduces stress. We harnessed the talents of our final-year chemistry project student to design, develop, and evaluate two new online chemistry lab resources to substitute two traditional chemistry experiments. This pivot to e-labs was unblazed territory for us, requiring creative problem solving at every developmental stage. In this article we focus on our Quizlets and Feedback design elements and their impact.
