In teaching organic chemistry, we use several types of instrumentation (NMR, FT-IR, GC-MS) to identify compounds. How do we best communicate how to use these instruments to students and faculty who have not used them before? And can we use this communication to provide potential outreach as well? This talk describes the use of cheap technology (like a Go-Pro Hero Session camera) to teach students and faculty how to use instrumentation in the organic chemistry lab. Social media presentation and amplification will be discussed, as well as outcomes, preliminary analytics data, and next steps.

Ready, set, action! Using Go-Pro videos to connect instrumentation with students and faculty
