Benny Ng, an instructor at California State University Channel Islands, developed an interactive game using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to help students build spatial recognition of elements in the periodic table. The game challenged students to quickly locate elements under time pressure, turning rote memorization into a fun, competitive experience. This approach supported the learning goal of helping students internalize element positions as a foundation for understanding periodic trends. By using browser-based technologies accessible on any device without the need for installation, the game showcased how gamification can enhance chemistry education, boosting student engagement and improving recall of key concepts.

Vida Vakilian, an Instructor from California State University, Channel Islands, designed active learning questions and incorporated them into her recorded video on Number Systems and DeMorgan's Laws. These questions will be presented to students as they view their asynchronous lecture videos, which are accessible through Canvas and an online platform called Playposit. Playposit allows for the integration of questions into pre-recorded lecture videos, providing a tool for interactive learning.
