Assessing the Impact of Online Video Tutorials on Student Performance in a Chemistry Course

摘要

Educational technology has fostered students' abilities and revolutionized the way they work and think in many areas of higher education. This study investigates the integration of video tutorials as a complement to learning in a nursing chemistry course at a community college setting. Tutorial videos aimed to supplement lectures and labs on the topics of soluble and insoluble salts, solubility rules, solution stoichiometry, and balancing precipitation reactions were designed using video recording tool Loom and were uploaded to the course Web site portal, Blackboard. The results of our study show that using video tutorials, which are a beneficial, adaptable, and affordable tool in teaching nursing chemistry, significantly improved student learning.
