In order to improve students' preparation for Organic Chemistry lab, an online tutorial on the topic of Distillation was created using Adobe Acrobat Presenter. The tutorial contains a lesson on the theory of distillation, as well as various demonstrations using distillation apparatus. In an effort to gauge its impact on student learning, data were collected both in laboratory sections which used the tutorial and in those that did not; the results of the study will be presented.
