Using Presentation Software To Flip an Undergraduate Analytical Chemistry Course

An undergraduate analytical chemistry course has been adapted to a flipped course format. Course content was provided by video clips, text, graphics, audio, and simple animations organized as concept maps using the cloud-based presentation platform, Prezi. The advantages of using Prezi to present course content in a flipped course format are discussed. Results of an American Chemical Society analytical chemistry examination were encouraging. Results of pre- and postsurveys of student perception of their learning are summarized.
