RESULTS
CONCLUSIONS AND PLANS
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
ABSTRACT
We present the development of a Virtual Instrumental Analysis Laboratory (VIAL) platform for Buffalo State and SUNY campuses. We will report the effectiveness of the VIAL for students’ gaining knowledge and skills in using advanced analytical instruments that were newly acquired in the Department of Chemistry at Buffalo State College.We will also show the possibility of remote controlling of the analytical instruments, so that off-campus users can directly benefit from our advanced facilities.

AIMS of the PROJECT
Aim 1. To effectively educate students to use modern analytical instruments by combining virtual and hands-on lab experiencesAim 2. To provide learning opportunities with advanced analytical instruments to students, faculty, and staff at other SUNY institutionsAim 3. To provide professional training on data acquisition and processing to the local scientific community (Future)Aim 4. To investigate the feasibility of remote control of advanced analytical instruments (Future)
What is Analytical Chemistry?
Quantitative
Analysis
Qualitative
Analysis
Wet analysis
Instrumental analysis
Skills and knowledge required for instrumental analysis
Knowledge of the principles and the hardware of the instrument
Reliable data
Troubleshooting for the instruments
Knowledge of the software for the instrument
Collect, process, and analyze data
Skills of using software package for plotting graphs and treating data statistically
Present data
Acquisition of major analytical instruments
with the opening of new science building
at Buffalo State in Spring 2013
Buffalo State Campus
Students
O
n-site education and training?
Other SUNY
Campus
OPEN SUNY?
WNY community
Service?
On-line tutorials on analytical instruments (AIMS 1 & 2)
Include
descriptions of the underlying principles of the analysis, sample preparation steps, instructions on the software for acquiring and processing data, demonstrations of running the instruments, and simple maintenance procedures
.
Use animation, video clips, on-line test, and webinar
Available through Blackboard and eventually available through SUNY digital repository
Buffalo State CHE 403 course materials posted in Blackboard (Spring 2014)
Live demonstrations of the equipment with audio, video,
and screen-sharing tools (AIMS 1 - 3)
Include live demo and recording for later viewing on campus
Can be extended to off-campus scientific community in future

Video tutorials created by Heo and his student
Assessment of the effect of video tutorials on students’ skills on analytical instrument
Assessed 11 students enrolled in CHE 403 (analytical instrument) class of Spring 2014Two analytical instruments were chosen. One lab experiment (Raman lab) was provided with video tutorials but the other lab (IR lab) was with a conventional lab manual format.Compared the class average scores of the two lab reports At the end of the semester students’ performing skills on the two instruments were assessed and the class averages for the two instruments were compared. We did not find any statistical difference between the Raman lab and the IR lab from the perspective of lab report scores and practical lab skills. Managing the analytical lab was much easier after introducing the video tutorials. Interacting with broader groups of students were made possible.
Live demonstration of analytical instrument using remote desktop connection
In-class demonstration of Ft-IR instrumentlocated in other lab.The instrument could be controlled by the in-class computer through remote desktopconnection.
VIAL
platform is potentially useful for helping students acquire skills
and knowledge required for analytical instruments but more data is needed
to make a decisive conclusion.
More video tutorials will be incorporated to assist lab courses at Buffalo
State and will be available through SUNY digital repository.
We demonstrate that analytical instruments can be remotely controlled
on-campus. Theoretically off-campus users may access to
them.
