Teaching Face-to-Face with Labster: Looking Forward to Going Back After COVID
Dr. Amber Kool turned to Labster when searching for a wet lab alternative during the pandemic. A year later, she is satisfied that Labster supports active learning and engages students. As she plans Arizona College of Nursing’s transition to a post-COVID curriculum, she is incorporating virtual lab simulations in all lab courses and in some concept-based courses. She said, “We can use it as prep work, we can use it as a pre-experience, or we can run through the virtual lab together.”

Engaging High School Students (and Their Teacher) with Labster
As a Biology teacher at an innovative career and technical education high school in Vermont, Emily Dehoff wants her students to be ready for science at the higher ed and career levels. She believes that engaging her students, getting them to participate and understand, is fundamental to that goal. She said, with Labster “I realized that if it’s engaging me, it’s going to engage the kids. This is game-like, and that’s where this generation lives.”

Virtual Labs During (and After) COVID
at RMIT Australia
Professor Donald Wlodkowic discovered he could use Labster to make his cell biology and biochemistry courses pandemic-proof and assigned it to all 600 of his students. After a year of use, Labster also proved itself as a valuable tool to supplement on-campus teaching. He said, “When the pandemic is over, I will definitely still be using Labster as a pre-study or on campus post-practical training exercise.”
