Theresa Carlson

I’ve been using Cengage, particularly the OWL platform, in my chemistry courses, and I appreciate its robust resources for enhancing student learning, particularly in foundational chemistry concepts. The integration with my course structure has been seamless, and the variety of question types helps reinforce the material effectively.
   
However, I’ve also explored some competitors' products. While they offer solid alternatives, I’ve found Cengage’s comprehensive approach to content and student support stands out, especially for my courses like CHEM 120 and CHEM 141. The detailed feedback and adaptive learning paths in OWL are particularly valuable for my students.
   
I’m interested in sharing my experiences and insights on how these tools can be optimized to further support student success, especially in preparatory and general chemistry courses. I’d love to collaborate on enhancing the platform to better meet the needs of both students and educators.


 

 

Quality in Online Learning (OLC/Cengage) Badge
Issued by Online Learning Consortium
The earner of this badge has successfully completed the OLC 2-week training on Quality in Online Learning. This training program will help Cengage faculty consultants to better support, mentor, and provide virtual coaching to faculty at various institutions on effective practices of quality online learning, including course design, facilitation, and assessment.

 

"OWLv2 has allowed me to assess my students early and has raised the percentage of students passing with a C or higher."

Teaching Lab Concepts with LabSkills

Presenters: Theresa Carlson, San Diego State University

While there's no perfect way to replicate the learning experience of a physical Chemistry lab, online simulations and assessments can be powerful learning tools to teach students laboratory concepts and skills. Watch an overview of LabSkills for General and Organic Chemistry, including its video demonstrations, interactive calculation questions, problem-solving simulations and quiz questions. You will learn how one instructor successfully transitioned all of their lab courses online using LabSkills.
