Introductory organic chemistry is a pivotal course in science and pre-professional curricula in Canadian universities. The large class size of organic chemistry course at York University (N~500) poses a challenge of keeping students motivated and engaged, hence active learning approaches are inevitable. During the last academic year, we have embedded a slew of new e-learning components, where, in addition to the “currently-trending” instruction methods like clickers, online homework, and flipped lectures, we incorporated interactive wireless in-class and online modules using different instructional tools.<br/>Overall, students showed significant improvement in their academic performance compared to previous cohorts. Further results from this work will be presented.
