The document discusses the implementation of a virtual chemistry lab designed for introductory chemistry students to enhance engagement and collaboration. It outlines the transformative learning processes and challenges faced in integrating external and internal students, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and reflection. Despite positive experiences, issues arose due to lack of motivation from some students and the challenges of asynchronous learning without assessments.

Challenge
to create a transformative
experience & journey of
discovery around
interpersonal processes
1st year Sem1
~ 60% externals

13. 13
Pedagogy: Transformative learning
Process:
1. discovering value of working together – WIIFM
2. exploring classical studies
3. reflecting & applying studies
to own lives
4. experiencing interpersonal
processes – team work
Flipping classroom:
- V: read
- A: video

Externals
created collaborate groups
different week days, weekend
& times
interactive Padlet white board
sharing white boards
selecting the best white board
no assessment or credit attached

Worked tremendously well
with internals
engaged in tasks & team work
many AHA moments
experienced, applied,
discovered, reflected & learned

Internals
some students didn’t read &/or watch the studies
Externals
setting up the collaborate sessions lot
of work
only some externals did team work
no extrinsic motivator = no assessment
or credits
too many choices
asynchronic learning
