Case Study: North Dakota State College of Science improves lab readiness and student performance with Labster

North Dakota State College of Science prepares students for lab work in 30 minutes with Labster

The customer, North Dakota State College of Science, faced the challenge of maintaining effective hands-on science education, particularly during the pandemic, for an educator who was initially resistant to using technology. Professor Margaret Brady, an Anatomy and Physiology instructor, needed a way to prepare her students for wet labs without relying on her traditional, non-digital teaching methods alone. The solution implemented was Labster's virtual lab simulations.

Using Labster as a pre-lab preparation tool allowed students to gain experience with procedures like blood typing in a virtual environment before entering the physical lab. The results were significant, with students completing labs in 30 minutes with no questions and passing quizzes with flying colors. Labster provided a measurable impact by enabling experienced learning to take place, drastically improving student readiness and knowledge retention for the hands-on portion of the course.
