What the professors say

“Right from the beginning, I have found the customer service with Labster to be nothing short of outstanding.”
Dr. Joel Yager Humphrey
Dr. Joel Yager HumphreyCayuga Community College, NY
“The virtual labs really help the students become familiar with the material before they engage in the class."
Dr. Paul Kasili
Dr. Paul KasiliBunker Hill Community College
“Being able to see processes, the order of steps that have to be done, and if you do a step out of order then you’re not going to get very far in the experiment. So that’s what’s really nice about Labster in my biology class – you presented them in a fun way that they could actually see how it would be applied in the real world or in any biology lab.”

“The simulations are a great resource for community colleges and they have absolutely exceeded my expectations.”
