Comic Zines as Tools for Chemistry Education and Engaging Students.

ABSTRACT: Use of solely language-based pedagogical tools in the teaching of chemistry can be limiting for such a practical and visual subject. In recent times, technology-based learning has become much more prevalent for engaging students. However, print based texts are still very important. Comics and comic zines have been shown to be attractive media forms for presenting information to students in an easily digestible form.
