Resumo

The effect of digital tools (pre-lab videos and 3D models of experimental equipment) on student’s performance of a typical lab assignment was studied quantitatively; for some students, these digital tools replaced physical access to the equipment.  These students also participated in focus groups and gave good suggestions to make the digital tools more effective.
