Abstract
Electron counting of metal complexes is an important skill for chemistry undergraduate students learning inorganic chemistry. As part of game-based learning, we have developed a card game termed “CountQuest” for students to revise electron counting after learning this concept from conventional lectures. In this proceeding, we describe the use of a free web-based virtual tabletop platform, playcards.io for implementing an online version of CountQuest due to COVID-19 restrictions in 2021. Pre- and post- game surveys indicated that students’ confidence in electron counting improved to a large extent. Pre- and post-game quiz results at 5% significance level indicated that there is a significant difference between quiz scores. The students’ perception of confidence in electron counting showed improvement after playing CountQuest in all three years that the game was played, independent of the mode of delivery of the game (physical or online).
