Abstract: The digital transformation of education presents both opportunities and challenges for chemistry laboratory instruction in higher education. Using the magnetic susceptibility determination experiment as a case study, this work demonstrates digital enhancement through animated videos that integrate microscopic principles with crystal structures and electron configurations, as well as a comprehensive WeChat mini-program incorporating experimental theory, data processing, and interactive feedback mechanisms. Empirical results indicate these innovations successfully achieve the visualization of abstract theoretical concepts, intuitive representation of microscopic structures, streamlined data processing, and enhanced spatiotemporal flexibility in instructor-student interaction. Consequently, these implementations significantly improve both the digital sophistication of experimental pedagogy and overall teaching effectiveness.

Key words: Determination of magnetic susceptibility, Digital processing, Atomic and molecular-scale structure, Instructor-student interaction, High-level, innovative, and challenging pedagogy
