In Their Own Words: Students Weigh in on Labster’s Impact

At Labster, we’re proud about our impact on students’ engagement, understanding, and confidence in the classroom. Our immersive and interactive approach to learning has clear results on everything from motivation to course grades and retention. 

Perhaps most importantly, students agree! More than 94% of students report gaining key knowledge from Labster simulations. In their own words, here is a small sample of the feedback we regularly get from students about how Labster has shaped their learning experiences.

Empowering Individuals in Large Classes

For students in large classes, finding personalized interaction can be challenging. Labster offers a unique solution by allowing every student to engage directly with virtual labs. This individual interaction allows them to explore experiments at their own pace and solidify their understanding before stepping into a physical lab.

‍Accessible Learning for All Students‍

Many students appreciate the flexibility and accessibility that Labster offers, particularly those who face unique challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, or the demands of balancing work and family responsibilities.

Students like Tonie benefit from Labster’s customizable features, such as the option to turn off narration or work through the lab at their own speed, helping to tailor the learning experience to their needs.

And for those juggling busy schedules or responsibilities, Labster’s virtual labs provide a flexible alternative to traditional classroom settings:

Boosting Confidence in Complex Topics

Students often encounter difficult concepts in their courses, but Labster’s interactive simulations help break down complex ideas into manageable learning experiences.

Labster’s ability to simplify topics and provide a risk-free environment where students can make mistakes without fear of failure is one of its greatest assets:

“In the physical lab, if you mess up really badly, there’s really no coming back from it. But I love how I could mess up, learn from my mistake on Labster, and keep going.” — Brianna Brown, Fisk University

Enhancing Preparation for Hands-On Labs

Another recurring theme among students is how Labster helps prepare them for in-person labs. By offering simulations that mirror real-world scenarios, students walk into physical labs with more confidence and a clearer understanding of what to expect.

By simulating real-world environments and potential mistakes, students feel more equipped to handle the challenges of hands-on lab work.

Making Learning Fun and Engaging

Above all, Labster makes learning engaging. With the ability to take students into different settings, whether inside the bloodstream or the surface of Mars, the simulations capture students’ attention in ways traditional textbooks and lectures often can’t.

“It’s not ordinary. It takes you to different settings. You’ll be in the lab, out in the wilderness, or at a hospital, which really held my attention because it was interesting. You’ll retain more information that way.” — Brianna Brown

The interactive, game-like environment of Labster motivates students to dive deeper into their coursework:
