Since the dawn of the computer age, scientists have designed devices to represent
molecular structures and developed tools to simulate their dynamic behavior in silico. To this …

Developing fluency across symbolic-, macroscopic-, and particulate-level representations is
central to learning chemistry. Within the chemistry education community, animations and …

We present the results of a study designed to provide insight into interactive simulation use
during guided-inquiry activities in chemistry classes. The PhET Interactive Simulations …

We studied how students engaged with an interactive simulation in a classroom setting and
how that engagement was affected by the design of a guiding activity. Students (n= 210) …

Rapid advances in the quality and accessibility of immersive virtual reality (IVR) have
brought about intense interest in applications of the technology within higher education …

A comparison of the experiences of both organic and analytical lab faculty during the COVID-
19 pandemic distance learning initiative is described here. Faculty of both lab courses …

Implementation of the flipped classroom approach into STEM courses has been popularized
in the last decade and has generally been reported to improve student performance …

We build on theoretical foundations of tool-mediated learning, tool design, and human
computer interaction to develop a framework for implicit scaffolding in learning …

Proper sampling techniques are of the utmost importance in obtaining accurate and precise
results in chemical analysis. A Python language computer simulation providing fast …

Environments in which learning involves coordinating multiple external representations
(MERs) can productively support learners in making sense of complex models and …
