Chairs!: A Mobile Game for Organic Chemistry Students to Learn the Ring Flip of Cyclohexane
Winter, Julia; Wentzel, Michael; Ahluwalia, Sonia
Journal of Chemical Education, v93 n9 p1657-1659 Sep 2016
The hallmark of game-based learning is that students discover concepts through trial and error as they play. With the digital landscape in higher education shifting to mobile-first, new tools for learning chemistry are both possible and needed. Interactive games for chemistry bring intuitive content directly to students through their devices. The game Chairs! was created to teach the ring flip of cyclohexane. The development of this new mobile learning tool for organic chemistry and its implementation in classrooms are described.
