Dow Green Chemistry Education Award Winner 2022-2023 

Institution: South Dakota State University (SDSU)
Faculty Lead: Sara K. Madsen
Project Description: Virtual Reality (VR) will be used to assess its learning effectiveness in Organic Chemistry laboratory that currently uses green chemistry pedagogy. The goal of this project is to use VR to provide chemistry students an opportunity to practice green chemistry techniques and experiments before entering a real space laboratory. SDSU faculty, staff, and administrators, SDSU students, and South Dakota Tribal Colleges will benefit from this project. This project will design a VR template that can achieve the following objectives:

  • Practice the procedures of a traditional green experiment and non-green experiment and assess learning in VR.
  • Conduct a green experiment and non-green experiment in the real laboratory space and assess learning, calculate energy consumption, atom economy and E-Factor, in both VR and non-VR spaces.
  • Modify VR objects to optimize and pilot the green chemistry experiment in VR.

  • Sara K Madsen was just tagged in a comment: Since we are approaching the end of the semester, I am wondering if anyone is willing to share any example or two of how they (or their institution) is assessing green chemistry in their courses? I am hoping those who are associated with GCC institutions could share their experiences with assessment to inspire and motivate others:) I am also curious if assessment is primarily formative, summative or a mix of both.I am tagging a few educational content developers associated with the GCC program.University of Toronto: @John De Backere Gordon College: @Liza Abraham University of Pittsburgh: @Nesta Bortey-Sam Florida Southern College: @Deborah Bromfield Lee Bradly University: @Dean Campbell Kingsborough Community College: @Hun Bok Jung Stella and Charles Guttman Community College: @Ji Kim Grand Valley State University: @Dalila Kovacs Pingree School: @Irv Levy University of Toledo: @Mark R Mason South Dakota State University: @Sara K Madsen Fashion Institute of Technology: @Julian Silverman Georgia Gwinnett College: @cmwoodbridge ...
  • Sara K Madsen was just tagged in a comment: Hi Alexey, also wondering if some of the members of the inorganic working group from the last few years might have some additional insights: @Edward Zovinka, @Matthew Cranswick, @Stephanie Hurst, @Sara K Madsen, @Nicholas Kingsley, @Ryan Trovitch (feel free to tag others as well who might have some insights!)...
