Success in undergraduate chemical experiments requires students to develop knowledge and skills of instrumentation, equipment, techniques. In this technology report, we propose an adaptable user-focused strategy improve students' foundational skill proficiency with laboratory techniques instrumentation. The is composed multiperspective filming experimental activities using mobile phones or professional-level create videos that can be freely viewed by situ during classes on a device (iPad). Details mixed digital approaches for variety (10 examples) are compared mobile-phone filming. results show both the accuracy precision developed highly suitable teaching purposes. Use cameras permitted filmed from multiple angles constrained spaces, such as fume hoods. A major benefit was utility portable devices, were informed video while setting up performing task at hand sessions.
