N2 - Organic reaction mechanisms are one of the most challenging question types in introductory organic chemistry subjects. We identified that the students within our health-based programs had traditionally performed poorly with these question types. With the aim to increase student engagement, we have developed a series of lightboard videos demonstrating key organic mechanisms. The effectiveness of these lightboard videos was first evaluated in a postlecture group learning session, and second as an extra resource over a four year period by comparing the exam results. The students overall showed an increase in performance in the subject, and a deeper engagement over the time during which we analyzed the effectiveness of these resources. ©
