Grow Enrollment & Retention

Studies show that college students who earn low grades in introductory science courses will switch their majors or drop out of college without earning a degree.

Labster's unique approach to learning helps them get past their initial struggles by mastering complex concepts and fundamental skills. Students earn higher grades and experience success, reinforcing the decision to remain in college and on track to graduate.

5x Student Retention

Students who use Labster as a pre-lab are 5 times more likely to say they plan to continue taking STEM courses.

Overcome Barriers to Learning

Labster simulations get right to the root of the learning gaps and barriers that stand in the path of student success. Labs are designed to only let students advance once they have answered correctly, helping students win knowledge with each step of progress. 

Students can complete labs at their own pace, get instant feedback tailored to their performance, and repeat labs as many times as they need to master content.

+24% Knowledge Gains

Low-knowledge students see the biggest gains from simulations, with scores improving by 24%.

Boost Engagement with Active Learning

Simulations motivate students to participate, practice, and immerse themselves in a realistic lab setting — just like actual scientists do. The impact is increased interest in a future STEM career.

Interactive lab homework engages students with experiences they will remember and can reference to enhance their confidence before practicals and their performance on graded assessments.

4x Career Motivation

Students who use Labster are 4 times more likely to say they plan on pursuing a career in STEM.

Expand Capacity, Improve Efficiency, & Control Risks

Virtual labs add high-end lab equipment and new experiments to your curriculum that would otherwise be out of reach for many programs. Additionally, Labster simulations broaden the range of learning activities and experiences, reducing the risk of lab accidents, and eliminating the overhead costs of operating a wet lab.

By increasing the breadth, quality, and sustainability of lab experiences, Labster helps programs consistently achieve learning objectives while maintaining budget control.
