Case Study: Marymount California University achieves deeper biology lab learning with Labster

Marymount California University - Customer Case Study

Marymount California University, a small institution, faced a significant challenge when a lab remodel eliminated their physical lab space, preventing biology students from getting essential hands-on experience. Assistant Professor Dr. Monica Westley sought a high-quality virtual solution to provide a practical lab component for her students and discovered Labster's simulations.

The solution was to implement Labster's virtual labs, which were used both as a complete lab replacement and in a blended learning format. The results were highly positive, with student surveys showing high satisfaction ratings, including a 4.7 out of 5 for enjoyment and content applicability. Labster provided students with access to sophisticated tools and techniques, improved their practical skills, and allowed student athletes to keep up with the course. Dr. Westley's successful adoption of the tool to meet student needs even contributed to her being named faculty member of the year.
