Case Study: Texas Christian University achieves ROI, engagement, and stronger learning outcomes with Labster Virtual Science Simulations

Texas Christian University boosts microbiology learning with Labster for 200 students a year

Texas Christian University (TCU) sought to bridge the gap between theory and real-world application for its microbiology students, especially when learning moved online in 2020. The challenge was to find an educational resource that delivered a strong return on investment compared to costly textbooks. Dr. Clark A. Jones, a Senior Instructor, turned to Labster's virtual science simulations to address this.

Labster provided a solution with its virtual lab simulations, which were used as pre-lab assignments to prepare students for in-person experiments. This approach led to improved student engagement, a deeper understanding of course materials, and an increase in grades. For the institution, Labster delivered significant ROI by making the physical lab budget more efficient. The vendor's simulations successfully paralleled in-person labs and helped students connect scientific concepts to global issues and their future careers.
