Resumen de Using a Multitouch Book to Enhance the Student Experience in Organic Chemistry

Jimmy Franco, Brian A. Provencher

  • In recent years, researchers have worked diligently to identify more effective means of facilitating student learning. Some promising pedagogical techniques that have emerged include the flipped-class model and test-enhanced learning. These pedagogical strategies have been incorporated into a multitouch book. A multitouch book is a dynamic platform that allows instructors to combine text, videos, interactive figures, and quizzes into an electronic book. A multitouch book was created and implemented in an organic-chemistry sequence. The course content in the multitouch book is divided into individual learning units. Each unit contains concise informative text, explanatory videos, and quizzes in a structured manner. The multitouch book contains all of the topics traditionally covered in a sophomore-level organic-chemistry course and was created using a variety of elements to engage students in a manner that best matches their learning preference. The multitouch book was created in iBooks Author, which has widgets that allow for the facile insertion of the videos, figures, images, and quizzes. Student response to the multitouch book was overwhelmingly positive.
