Abstract: | This paper describes a project in the School of Chemistry at The University of Melbourne. During 1992 thirty hours of videotapes
were taken of students doing quantitative volumetric work in first year laboratories. These were viewed to find out what problems
students encountered and what interactions they had with other students and with demonstrators. The data were logged on a
Hypercard stack and novel visual images were produced to map student activity, both qualitatively and quantitatively. These
data contributed to the design of a multimedia learning package which students worked through at the beginning of 1993. Video
data of their laboratory performance after this intervention provides evidence of improved performance.
