Using Digital Simulations to Engage Students, Enhance Learning and Save Money
Terrence Green, Chemistry Professor; and Michael Substelny, Professor / Lorain County Community College

Chemistry 161 is a laboratory-based General, Organic, and Biochemistry course for non-science majors. Historically, the lab has been expensive and the course material difficult to grasp. Using custom digital simulations and scenario-based learning objects, LCCC has been able to drastically reduce the cost of the lab, engage students with animated tools for math remediation, and improve student learning and retention. This exciting session will demonstrate the simulations, discuss the process of their development, and share the impact on student grades.
