Access to Labster
This landing page contains essential resources to support faculty from the California Community Colleges system who wish to integrate Labster’s virtual lab simulations into their courses.
The Chancellor’s Office of the California Community Colleges system has purchased a subscription to Labster that is active through June 30, 2021. Individual faculty members and students do not need to purchase access to Labster on their own during this time period.
