Abstract:
The goal of this project was to develop and evaluate free, online Open-Educational Resource (OER) content for a forensic chemistry course, aligned with the Course-based-Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) model of instruction. Through this project, we created supplementary materials including case studies, forensic chemistry lab techniques, and demo videos. The course also provided a platform for the students to interact with forensic experts. Nine high impact practices were incorporated and aligned with CURE. The materials covered in the course are hosted on the LibGuides platform for equitable access. While student perceptions of OER material quality varied, they were strongly correlated with student experience. Additional attitudinal results suggest student self-efficacy significantly increased in response to participation in this OER forensic chemistry CURE. Instructors who wish to adopt or adapt these course materials should provide structured support for digital tools so all students find them accessible, maximizing the effectiveness of this OER CURE.
