The Labster Advantage

Labster gives students the chance to learn through fun and engaging virtual lessons set in a true-to-life science lab. Allowing them to develop theories, and gain confidence by practicing their experiments in a hazard-free environment, Labster is a cost effective, easily accessible option.

Improves student retention and outcomes

Unlimited access to instrumentation

Convenient laboratory access

Integrates with your LMS

Easy tracking of progress & feedback

Fun and engaging 3D animations

Suitable for course re-designs

Dedicated customer support

Aligns with core science curriculum

01. Visual guides to show the processes in action

Let your students see the complex ideas and theories as they happen. Slow the visuals down, enhance them to the molecular level or dive inside a piece of lab equipment to really embed the learning.

02. Simulations to help your students recap learning

Before moving to a new topic or to ensure their prior knowledge of a subject, set a simulation to be completed in their own time. Make sure they're ready to progress without the need for physical resources or lab space!

03. Safely prepare students for lab work with a Labster simulation

Take students on a 3D tour of a science lab. They will need to choose their personal protective equipment (PPE) and prepare the instruments necessary to complete the experiment without danger.

04. Provide students with laboratory experience without the lab

Students using Labster simulations will have no problems with access, time constraints or resources.

05. Facilitate online teaching with Labster

Assessments embedded into engaging simulations, individual coaching and quick quizzes all make learning fun and easy.Assessments can also contribute to an overall class participation grade.

06. Reflect on a teaching session with the Labster simulations

Built in reflection periods help students look back on their learning and experiments, access additional support and coaching before exploring how their results could be changed in future.

Read the Educational Whitepaper for Scientific Virtual Laboratories

In this whitepaper, we lay out the importance of change of science education, and also show the role that virtual laboratories play in implementing these changes. Any skepticism surrounding the use of virtual labs will also be discussed and countered in the paper. Independent educators will share their first hand experiences of using virtual labs through case studies, and published research studies on the effectiveness of virtual labs will also be evaluated.

In this whitepaper we discuss:

The challenges encountered in science education
The benefits of virtual labs in education
The skepticism surrounding virtual laboratories
An evaluation of research studies undertaken on virtual labs

"The majority of students perceived that the simulations improved their learning of DNA-based technologies, students were motivated to complete the simulation and felt more confident at the end.”

Dr. Bina Rai Singapore University of Technology & Design

"One way to make science more attractive is to make it real. And for me, one thing that Labster does really well is to make it real and fun. Labster brings both humor and relevance, as well as real life context to science education.”

Dr. Ana Barral National University, California

Dr. Sabine Matallana-Surget

"Simulations present concepts in a more intuitive and less abstract way by providing a dynamic representation of chemical reactions or mechanisms at a molecular level.”

Dr. Sabine Matallana-Surget Stirling University, Scotland
