Microbiology Students Using Labster Virtual Labs See 19% Test Score Improvements Over Traditional Reading Materials

Manuela Tripepi, PhD., conducted a real-world study on how to incorporate Labster simulations into both remote and in-person microbiology semester course curriculum for undergraduate students. Her findings were published in the April 2022 issue of the Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education (JMBE). In addition to the large study, Dr. Tripepi also compared a group of 12 undergraduate microbiology students who used Labster’s immersive simulations to a control group of 16 students using only traditional reading materials. Although both groups were given the same test, the grades in the Labster group were 19% higher than those of the control group.
