Abstract

In the past year, the student-generated screencasting blog (http://mi-chemed.net) nearly doubled in size to over 50 tutoring videos in organic and general chemistry. However, student usage did not increase significantly despite a link to the GVSU library and inclusion in the Google search engine. Recent changes to the registration system and advertising strategy have led to a surge in usage, which resulted in a number of interviews with student users. The issues identified in these interviews will inform improvements in the blog's content and structure.
