Key benefits

Flexible, skills-targeted resources that enhance teaching and learning experiences in chemistry

Prepare students for practical labs

Interactive simulations as pre-lab activities allow students to familiarise themselves with techniques, increasing preparedness for the lab and meaning you can make better use of limited lab time.

See where students are struggling

Use insights into how students are performing to enhance their learning experiences, by providing better support and implementing enhanced teaching interventions.

Reduce staff workload

Automated marking and personalised feedback for each student frees up time so that you can focus on your teaching and responsibilities in a more manageable way.

Boost key skills for employment

Valuable practice opportunities enhance students' development of the skills and competencies they need to succeed during education and future employment.

Smart Worksheets and Their Positive Impact on a Second-Year Chemical Kinetics Course

Published in:
Journal of Chemical Education, Vol 101, Issue 4, 2024
Authors:
Shallcross, D. et al.
Cohort & Subject:
Year 2, Chemistry

A series of Smart Worksheets were introduced to a second year chemical kinetics course at the University of Bristol. These supported students in workshop preparation while allowing staff to tailor these sessions based on areas of strength and misunderstanding revealed by the Smart Worksheets. Students responded very positively to the Smart Worksheets, and their introduction resulted in higher-order thinking within the workshops and a significant increase in subsequent examination performance on kinetics questions

Prelaboratory Technique-Based Simulations: Exploring Student Perceptions of Their Impact on In-Class Ability, Preparedness, and Emotional State

Published in:
Journal of Chemical Education, Vol 99, Issue 3, 2022.
Authors:
George-Williams, Blackburn, Wilkinson & Williams, D.
Cohort & Subject:
Year 1, Chemistry

This collaboration between educators at the Universities of Sydney and Leicester asked a large Year 1 chemistry cohort whether and how students believed LearnSci LabSims impacted their laboratory experience. Through both quantitative (N=419) and free-text (N=373) survey responses, a firm majority of students expressed positive impacts which included motivation from feedback and help visualising the techniques and easing them into the lab.
