Case Study: Haute Ecole de Charlemagne boosts chemistry engagement with Labster virtual labs

Haute Ecole de Charlemagne has used Labster since 2018 to gamify organic chemistry

The Haute Ecole de Charlemagne, a university in Belgium, faced challenges in motivating its chemistry students, who were resistant to traditional lectures. Assistant Chemistry Professor Steve Gillet sought a more interactive and gamified way to teach, particularly to illustrate theoretical content more effectively and provide access to equipment that was too costly or large to acquire physically.

By implementing Labster's virtual lab simulations, the university was able to offer effective, practical activities online, especially during COVID-19 confinement. Labster's solution led to high student enthusiasm and engagement, with the professor noting the platform was highly effective for student learning. The use of digital technology provided greater flexibility, supporting a shift towards a HyFlex teaching model.
