Case Study: Singapore University of Technology and Design boosts engagement and learning outcomes with Labster

Singapore University of Technology and Design - Customer Case Study

The Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) faced challenges with low student engagement in its compulsory science courses, a lack of student ownership over learning, and the need to effectively engage non-majors and kinesthetic learners. Dr. Bina Rai, a senior lecturer, sought a solution to move beyond traditional "chalk and talk" methods and combat the distracted classroom environment.

The university implemented Labster's virtual lab simulations. Using desktop and VR versions, the solution significantly increased student engagement and motivation. Labster delivered a measurable 10% increase in quiz scores for the desktop user group and successfully gave non-majors realistic, safe lab access. Student surveys confirmed the simulations improved learning, confidence, and knowledge retention.
