North Dakota State College of Science
“They did the simulation at home, then completed the in-person lab within 30 minutes, no questions asked, and passed the quiz with flying colors.”
University of Westminster
"I saw some of the students who clearly didn’t necessarily like sitting there reading a book discover they could turn on Labster and keep up with the rest of the class because it spoke to them.
Modesto City Schools
"Having something that's engaging for the students gives teachers that opportunity to breathe and get excited again. Because they're seeing the kids light up, they're seeing the kids engage with content."
Wenatchee Valley College
"The question always is, ‘Can we demonstrate that the students are meeting course outcomes?’ Check! We can do that.”
San José State University
"We surveyed over 400 students. More than 90% thought Labster was easy to navigate, and that it was fun, but more importantly, most of them felt confident that they could execute the labs in person. And that confidence is a big deal."

A Labster virtual lab is an interactive assignment students complete online, on their own schedule. Some labs build foundational knowledge for gateway courses, using visualizations that make complex concepts easier to grasp. Others give students realistic practice with lab techniques and equipment before they step into a wet lab or a STEM career.
Labster supports STEM courses in biology, chemistry, physics, and health sciences within colleges, universities, high school districts, and online academies. Search the Content Catalog to find simulations for your courses.
Yes. Labster integrates with the LMS platforms colleges and universities use most, including Canvas, Blackboard, D2L Brightspace, Moodle, and more. Students open Labster like any other assignment in their course. If your institution doesn't use an LMS integration, students log in through Labster's Course Manager.
