Using multimedia (videos and photos) in education has gained popularity. Students increasingly use this content to supplement study materials; students capture videos and photos, disseminate these on social websites, and generate QR codes embedded with a URL linked to the content. For this project, instrumental analysis students created research manuscripts accompanied by short videos focused on research methods developed during independent research performed in the course. Videos were uploaded to YouTube and added to research manuscripts using QR codes. Evaluation of articles and videos was analogous to journal article review; papers that were accepted for publication were incorporated into an online course journal. This project is an extension of published work that had students create videos that were then QR coded and posted to instruments and lab manuals. This project reinforced that having students create a publication increases their engagement and their investment in the finished product.
