Project Summary

A video library consisting of 55 instructional videos on various aspects of introductory organic chemistry laboratory courses available at LMU Muenchen will be adapted (written text, spoken information) to teaching in English, French, and Spanish. New videos will be added to include new synthetic or analytical equipment present in organic chemistry laboratory courses in the partner institutions Univ. Cardiff (Cardiff, UK), Sorbonne Université (Paris, France), and Univ. Murcia (Murcia, Spain). Videos in all four languages will be hosted at all four institutions and will thus be made available to students throughout the EU under the Creative Commons (CC-BY-NC) license. In parallel, a web-based module will be developed for each of the videos eliciting student response and activation. Both components together are expected to significantly facilitate the partial or complete virtualization of laboratory courses, which represent core components of undergraduate chemistry teaching in all EU member states.
