Closing the knowledge gap
Improving learning outcomes with virtual labs
Welcome to Labster, readers of The Times!
Take a sneak peek into our labs and try them for yourself.
Students come to university with varying levels of experience. Educators who teach with Labster see better learning outcomes because the platform enables them to meet each student’s individual need to review or accelerate their knowledge of key scientific concepts and techniques.
We are proud to be one of just a few companies to be featured in the annual Digital Learning report in The Times, as it is the leading report on learning for the year in the national press.

Observations and evaluations by science instructors
"Enrollment increased 6% at a time when overall university enrollment declined, and several students said 'I'm telling my friends to take this course!'"
“Click a button and you get to explore Labster simulations and see how what you learn in the classroom relates to real-world applications."
“Instead of lecturing about whatever the content is, we’ll debrief over how the simulation went. The faculty member becomes more of a coach, and the accountability for the learning goes back on the student.”
“Students do not just watch a video - they interactively perform the Labster experiments themselves. They can make mistakes, they learn from those mistakes, and they receive constant guidance from the virtual assistant.”
"I would enthusiastically recommend Labster to others. It has provided our students with a very valuable learning tool, giving them more transferable skills and helping them to contextualize their own learning.”
