As educators, we typically give tests to assess prior learning. But 2020 was not a typical year.
If 2020 was a test, it wasn’t listed on the syllabus, no one studied, the questions covered totally new material, and it was given to teachers as well as to students.
Paradoxically, we managed to pass by learning from the test itself rather than relying on what we already knew.
You already knew how to teach in a classroom, but you took reached out to Labster for a virtual solution that would support your science classes when they went from face-to-face to remote to hybrid and back again.
We already knew how to make virtual labs as a supplement and replacement for in-person science courses, but your willingness to trust us prompted us to build up our virtual lab platform so we could support you and your students wherever learning took place.
Behind the scenes, Labster was expanding our capacity, scaling up, and improving our virtual labs. The process wasn’t always easy or smooth, but we made progress. Here’s what we’re most proud of:
Working in partnership, we hypothesized, experimented, observed, and analyzed. You told us what worked, what didn’t, and how we could improve.
Together, we supported 20 times more students to learn science with virtual labs in 2020 than in the year before.
Thank you for sharing your ideas. Listening to your advice and encouragement has helped us to develop exciting new features that will support your students’ learning. Stay tuned, we’ll announce some of these in January 2021.
