352 students in a first-year undergraduate cell biology course at Universidad Andres Bello in Chile were surveyed about their experience with Labster. Key findings include:
These results suggest that using Labster increased student confidence and improved attitudinal competencies that are important for student learning.
Labster improved students' academic performance and led to a greater understanding of theoretical concepts and practical skills.
Students preferred Labster to prepare for traditional theoretical lectures as well as to prepare for face-to-face practical lab experiences, consistent with using Labster as part of a flipped classroom model of teaching.
