The document discusses the use of Educreations videos in chemistry courses at Deakin University. It provides details on courses that used the videos, such as a food science and chemistry course with 250 students. A student survey was conducted that found the majority of students agreed the videos helped them understand chemistry concepts and preferred watching videos over reading journal articles. Students responded positively to features like being able to pause and replay the visual lessons. The preliminary findings suggest Educreations videos are an effective tool for flipping the classroom and improving student learning in chemistry.
