Student confidence in content taught in lecture was lacking. The goal of this action research project was to increase student self-efficacy as a means to positively affect student confidence, enjoyment of the class, and improve assessment scores. Students lacked the ability to study lab equipment in a manner that aligned concepts taught in lecture with a visual reference. Student confidence was supported with the use of multimedia tools that caused students to be pre-exposed to content, created an opportunity to give them formative feedback, and provided the ability for students to be oriented visually to lab equipment outside of the classroom.
