Labster's simulations will transport your students to Mars, put them in a nuclear reaction, help them see the journey from dog-like mammal to blue whale and more! With Labster your students will gain experiences they could previously only imagine and investigate accurate scientific principles as they go.

Their learning will be supported with lab assistance from Dr. One, a wide range of visual guides and step-by-step guidance, as well as being checked with fun quiz questions, comparative analysis of results or a functioning and optimised procedures.

Independent learning and practical experience and application are some of the more memorable and high-quality learning experiences students can have. With Labster, those experiences never stop! Experiment time and again to recap or adapt parameters and then clean up the mess with the press of a button!

After using Labster virtual labs, student retention increased from 80% to 95%

The Labster Advantage

Offering much more access than a physical lab, Labster’s interactive laboratory simulation allows your science course to become alive and immersive. Providing the chance to develop independent ideas, design and perform experiments and understand difficult concepts, this user-friendly experience will benefit your students immeasurably.

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. Develop understanding with a range of visual aids

Students can see the complicated actions and processes as they occur, making learning memorable and immersive.

02. Keep their knowledge up-to-date with a quick recap

Students will all have different understanding of the course content, so using a simulation brings everyone's learning into line before new knowledge is acquired.

03. Prepare for real lab work in a virtual 3D environment first!

Recap the methods and reasons for keeping safe in the lab. Prepare students to start safely with their PPE and checklists, use expensive and delicate machinery carefully, and clean up without hassle!

04. Provide a lab component to any course without one

Not all students have had prior access to laboratory work,but can supplement their experience with Labster's virtual labs.

05. Let students learn from home

Education and work is becoming more remote by the year and Labster's simulations future-proof you and your students so learning can take place anywhere online. Assess students, track their progress and easily compile reports on their attainment.

06. Reflect on the lesson.

Opportunities to look back at the learning so far and implement changes before progressing are a natural part of experimenting, so they are also a part of Labster simulations. Record these opportunities so students can see their own attainment in action.

Take a look at the Whitepaper for Virtual Labs in Science Education

Virtual labs are changing the face of the science education sector, and this whitepaper discusses the factors surrounding their use. From skepticism and mistrust, to the full-on advantages to both educators and students, we use published research and detailed case studies to show both sides.

The whitepaper looks at:

The mistrust surrounding the use of virtual labs
The current challenges facing science educators
What can virtual labs do to improve the education of students
Are virtual labs effective? We examine at the research

"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
