Chemistry Education Webinar - Series 6

Webinar series 6, with the theme ICT Integration in The Chemistry Learning, was held on October 24, 2020. Accompanied by the speaker, Dr. Muhd Ibrahim Muhamad Damanhuri from Sultan Idris Education University, Malaysia and Prof. Jaslin Ikhsan, Ph.D from Yogyakarta State University, the series of Webinar Series events in the framework of the Chemistry Education Department anniversary has been completed.

In the material Integration of Green Screen Technology for New Norms of Teaching Chemistry, which was delivered by Dr. Ibrahim, the green screen used for learning activities will provide benefits in the form of; make online learning fun, turn background into powerpoint slides/notes, enhance demonstration or lab instruction, to point out details and important, and transport teacher characters to imaginary land/location. But, there are several factors that might affect the greenscreen quality, such as lighting, background surface, background colour, cloth colour, camera, and the editing skills.

The second material was delivered by Prof. Jaslin Ikhsan Ph.D, entitled  IT-based virtual laboratory: alternative solutions for effective chemistry hybrid learning. The importance of hybrid learning and virtual laboratory in the 21st century requires us to think critically. When educators already have good learning media, interactivity is an aspect that needs to be considered so that learning activities become interesting, especially during online learning such as during the pandemic. Virtual lab is an alternative that can be used in online learning activities to present chemistry learning in a fun and independent way, anytime and anywhere.

Thank you for participating in the entire Webinar Series of the Chemistry Education Department. Hopefully it can provide useful and inspiring knowledge for chemistry learning activities and the implementation of chemistry in all fields. See you.
