Organic Chemistry: Lab Training Videos
Undergraduate students at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) created a series of dynamic videos about their work in the science laboratory. Haim Weizman is a lecturer in U.C. San Diego’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. He powers the video project. As reported by Sherry Seethaler each video is approximately five to seven minutes long and features a student demonstrating a critical procedure in organic chemistry, such as the purification of a substance by distillation or recrystallization. UCSD visual arts students produced the videos. Your can find more details about this project on the USCD NewsCenter: Organic Chemistry for the YouTube Generation

Video was excellent–clarity, lighting, organization. Audio was quite difficult—and important. This may well reflect shortcomings in some audio receiving equipment, but it also suggests a possible need for slower speech and/or any other possible clarityenhancements for the audio.
