Scaffolding NMR Teaching and Learning at an Undergraduate Program in a Virtual World

The acquisition of two spectrometers, a 60 MHz tabletop Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and a 300 MHz AVANCE NMR interfaced with Mnova software brought critical changes to organic chemistry lecture and laboratory courses at an urban baccalaureate institution. In addition, organic faculty teamwork, incorporation of Open Education Resources (OER) and use of flipped lecture classrooms led to a decrease in "D"/Fail/Withdrawal (DFW) rates and opportunities for students to acquire increased mastery of NMR spectroscopy. With these innovations already in place, there was a seamless curricular adaptation to virtual teaching and learning, which was mandated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This chapter will present the detailed strategies that worked and challenges that needed to be overcome through the adaptation of the teaching and learning of NMR spectroscopy to a remote environment. © 2021 American Chemical Society.
