Case Study: American University of Bahrain boosts biology engagement with Labster virtual labs

American University of Bahrain engages 30 biology students with Labster virtual labs

The American University of Bahrain, an in-person university, faced the challenge of engaging its non-science majors in an introductory biology course. To overcome the difficulty of making the subject exciting for these students, Associate Professor Dr. Perla Atiyah implemented virtual lab simulations from the vendor Labster.

Labster provided a comprehensive suite of virtual labs that perfectly aligned with the curriculum and integrated seamlessly into the university's Canvas LMS. The solution yielded highly positive results, with students reporting that the labs were fun and interesting, which significantly improved their learning experience. This successful outcome in biology has led the university to plan an expansion of Labster for its chemistry and physics courses.
