Case Study: Fayetteville State University boosts faculty adoption and student engagement with Labster

Fayetteville State University sees 100% faculty renewal intent with Labster

Fayetteville State University's biological and forensic sciences department, led by Dr. Danielle Graham, faced the challenge of providing effective lab experiences for its diverse student body, which includes many post-traditional students with full-time jobs and a large military-affiliated population that often deploys. The department needed a solution that could deliver essential hands-on skills online without relying on physical lab kits that have expiring reagents, ensuring all students could complete the coursework flexibly. They turned to Labster's virtual lab simulations to meet this need.

The solution implemented was Labster's immersive virtual reality platform, which allowed students to practice detailed tasks like pipetting and plate streaking in a realistic digital environment. The results were highly positive; 100% of faculty who used Labster planned to continue using it, and 93.8% of students agreed they gained relevant knowledge. Labster's flexibility enabled its use in both online and in-person courses, successfully providing the next best thing to a real lab and helping students retain critical bench skills.
