Author Biography
Kevin Revell teaches introductory, general, and organic chemistry at Murray State University, and also serves as the assistant dean for the MSU Jones College of Science, Engineering, and Technology. A passionate educator, his teaching experience includes high school, community college, small private, state comprehensive, and state flagship institutions. His work encompasses curriculum, technology-enhanced pedagogy, assessment, and active-learning design. He has hosted a number of science education workshops, and is the senior editor for flippedchemistry.com, an online community for college-level instructors implementing active-learning pedagogies. His first textbook, Introductory Chemistry, is scheduled for release in 2017. A synthetic chemist by training, his research involves the synthesis and evaluation of functional organic materials.
Abstract
The use of video-recorded lectures is a powerful tool, but is perhaps most impactful for students taking classes in a second language. Building on published data (J. Chem. Ed. 2014, 91(1), 48-51), this presentation will highlight a variety of techniques used in Murray State chemistry classes. It will focus on the impact of this tool set for international students, and highlight practical approaches for implementing these techniques in the classroom. The presentation will highlight the empirical and anecdotal data on usage of video lectures by international students, presentation tools such as Doceri, Camtasia, light boards, etc., captioning; and tips for storing and distributing lecture materials.
