A Labster Case Study
The Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS) School of Professional Studies faced challenges in providing lab experiences to its remote learners, who are primarily working healthcare professionals. Their previous solution of mailing physical lab kits was hampered by supply chain limitations and safety concerns, prompting a search for a better alternative. This led them to the vendor Labster.
Labster provided a solution by replacing the mailed kits with its virtual labs for microbiology, chemistry, and biology courses. This scalable solution eliminated the previous supply chain and safety issues. The results included improved student engagement, with learners reporting the simulations were enjoyable and reinforced laboratory techniques. Labster now supports more than 2,000 students annually across MCPHS's courses.
