The Labster Advantage

Labster gives your students a real-life lab experience at a fraction of the cost of a physical lab. Allowing you to enhance your online lessons, our virtual labs prepare students for the wet lab, guide them through complex ideas, and engage with your science course through fun scenarios and realistic, hazard-free experiments.

Improves student retention and outcomes

Unlimited access to instrumentation

Convenient laboratory access

Integrates with your LMS

Easy tracking of progress & feedback

Fun and engaging 3D animations

Suitable for course re-designs

Dedicated customer support

Aligns with core science curriculum

01. Observe the visual aids to embed learning deeply

Dissect virtual animals, grow virtual populations and manipulate genes in 3D, all in fully immersive visualisations of the actions and processes students engage with.

02. Before beginning new topics, refresh students' knowledge with Labster

The simulations are a perfect prerequisite to learning . Why not use them for revision too? Students will all gain something from recapping the course topics in engaging ways with Labster.

03. Prepare for lab work with virtual laboratory experiments

Students can build their confidence with lab work including preparation and clean up. Students will wear virtual PPE, plan the experiment and enjoy a simple clean up while learning how real world issues could interfere with experiment results.

04. Provide all students with the same quality lab experience with Labster

Even if your course can't procure a full lab or any lab at all, we've got the solution!

05. Learn online from anywhere!

Get students online and facilitate their learning with ease. Labster offers participation records, assessment and quiz results and individualised support and coaching.

06. Reflect on lab work with guided coaching and plenary time

Assessments, quizzes and experiment results only go so far unless there is time built in to reflect on results and make a record of how their experiment could be changed or become more accurate.

Read the Educational Whitepaper for Virtual Laboratories in Science

There is an increasing need for change around the field of science education, and by discussing the beneficial role that virtual labs play in the teaching/learning environment, this whitepaper addresses the facts. It also tackles the issue of skepticism regarding the use of online simulations for education purposes. Using evidence gained from published research papers and first-hand case studies, we provide a balanced argument.

This whitepaper contains:

Details on current challenges facing science educators
Discussions around how to improve the education process via virtual labs
Analysis of the skepticism surrounding the use of virtual labs
The research demonstrating the effectiveness of virtual labs

"The majority of students perceived that the simulations improved their learning of DNA-based technologies, students were motivated to complete the simulation and felt more confident at the end.”

Dr. Bina Rai Singapore University of Technology & Design

"One way to make science more attractive is to make it real. And for me, one thing that Labster does really well is to make it real and fun. Labster brings both humor and relevance, as well as real life context to science education.”

Dr. Ana Barral National University, California

Dr. Sabine Matallana-Surget

"Simulations present concepts in a more intuitive and less abstract way by providing a dynamic representation of chemical reactions or mechanisms at a molecular level.”

Dr. Sabine Matallana-Surget Stirling University, Scotland
