Case Study: National University improves microbiology learning with Labster

National University - Customer Case Study

Labster worked with National University, which sought to personalize higher education for its diverse student population and help college completion by adapting material to individual needs. The challenge was to migrate science courses online with a reliable virtual lab tool that would not frustrate students with technical issues, following negative experiences with previous technologies.

The solution was implementing Labster’s desktop science simulations, which were embedded in the university's LMS for easy access. Labster provided responsive support and realistic, data-rich, and risk-free virtual lab environments for student practice. National University's preliminary research showed Labster students achieved higher scores on critical thinking questions compared to their counterparts in traditional courses. The simulations also expanded access to lab science for students in remote locations, including deployed military personnel.
