Especially in a post-pandemic context, the use of technology and multimedia content for teaching and learning chemistry has become increasingly prevalent. While YouTube videos may contain accurate chemistry content, the way in which information is presented affects the potential for learning. Based on evidence-based research and cognitive theory, we used Mayer’s Multimedia Principles (MMP) to […]
A51-P: How Well do YouTube and Chemistry Mix? Evaluating Educational Videos with Mayer’s Multimedia Principles
YouTube videos are being used as an instructional support to lectures for students, especially in science subjects such as chemistry. A method was developed to quantitatively rate popular acid-base and bonding YouTube videos using Richard Mayer’s seven Multimedia Principles as a framework. A second method was developed to quantitatively rate the videos to specifically investigate […]
C57-P: Analyzing Chemistry YouTube Videos with Mayer’s Multimedia Principles: Is Popularity Linked to the Promotion of Learning?
YouTube videos are becoming increasingly more integrated into education, especially in core science subjects such as chemistry. Views are typically used as a measure of a video’s quality, as teachers and students use them for instructional support. Richard Mayer developed a set of Multimedia Principles that we have used to rate the characteristics of popular […]
