Since chemistry departments have begun to embrace hybrid and online instruction, with some being forced to due to the pandemic, instructors have been plunged into the evolving world of educational technology. Teaching with technology, however, is more than using the newest and flashiest applications out there. Instructors need to understand first how the technology supports student learning outcomes and subject mastery. Various online platforms have data-driven learning designs that offer differentiated instruction or personalized learning and can measure student engagement and even metacognition through adaptive learning. Sophisticated systems can even map student current knowledge in a given “knowledge space.” But what really works? What allows students to show that they have truly learned and remember concepts? This symposium will focus on discussing methods and tools that successfully promote student engagement, persistence, and mastery learning in general chemistry courses offered either in a hybrid/blended format or asynchronously online.
