Additional information

These screencasts have been provided to the Royal Society of Chemistry to support undergraduate chemistry.

The Chemistry vignettes project is the result of a Physical Sciences Centre, Higher Education Academy funded departmental project collaboration between the Chemistry Schools of the University of East Anglia and The University of Southampton to examine the screencasting of first year Chemistry lectures and the provision of vignettes. Vignettes are short, annotated and interactive highlights from chemistry screencasts envisaged as Open Educational Resources.
