Abstract
Background
While digital tools are widely used for in-class activities little is known about their effect on student engagement (Godsk, 2024)
Research Question
What, if any, are the effects of using collaborative digital tools on the engagement of science students in TUS?
Approach
Vevox was used to support a peer instruction exercise (Crouch, 2007) for chemical instrumentation case studies. Students answered multiple choice questions before then breaking into small groups to discuss and answer again. Finally each group entered a brief rationale for their choice of answer, before all results were shared.
