My current research interests are primarily focused in studying the impact of various teaching strategies on students’ learning, especially through experiential learning opportunities, such as using case studies to teach content, and integration of research into teaching. I am collaborating with graduate students on developing new 3D animations and using Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technology to teach complex organic chemistry concepts. Through the expertise of MADLab at UofT, we have been able to create an iOS version of our ARchemy app, and we are working towards a VR app to be launched in the near future.
We have received several grants for the development of this technology for novel applications into chemical education and we are in the process of publishing our findings on integrating this technology into chemical education.
