Beyond Labz powered by Pearson

Beyond Labz is designed to optimise a blended-learning student experience. By supplementing your teaching with Beyond Labz, you can better support students’ increasingly diverse learning requirements as they return fully or partially back to campus – whether using as preparation for, or in place of an in-person session, to help students understand difficult concepts or to facilitate deeper engagement with your course. 

Enrich your students’ knowledge and understanding with immersive virtual experiments on a wide range of topics in Physics, Chemistry and Biology subjects. Choose from hundreds of pre-loaded experiments or create your own lab activities.

You can easily introduce Beyond Labz into your existing curriculum and adapt it as per your unique requirements without rewriting your labs. You can assign an 'inquiry lab' to be completed at home before students come to class and engage in a discussion about the concepts and relationships they discovered while they were ‘messing around’ in the lab. Not only does this help them structure their self-study time, but the return on your classroom time investment also increases dramatically.

Beyond Labz offers students a true-to-life lab experience at a fraction of the cost of a real lab via considerable space and human resource savings.

All virtual labs within Beyond Labz include 'Lab activities' and 'Lab books' with pre-prepared question worksheets for students to record procedures, data, and to submit results. Once completed, students can share with you their answer books in a pdf file export as proof of work process.

Beyond Labz helps you to deliver summative assessments for your course practicals entirely, or can be integrated as part of your formative and summative assessment process.

Beyond Labz is designed in a way that students should not feel artificially inhibited in any way. It helps impart confidence and employability skills in students by allowing them to learn from their mistakes in a safe environment.

Beyond Labz provides students with learning tools and help files which they can use at their own pace and in their own time - this allows students with lower knowledge and skill levels to catch up with their peers, resulting in a better understanding of the link between theory and practice.

And for students who are unable to access a laboratory, Beyond Labz can ensure you offer more accessible and inclusive provision.

Powered by Pearson's expert support team, Beyond Labz can quickly be set up to enhance your online or blended provision. This end-to-end service which includes implementation, guidance and support for all your students from day one, will give you and your colleagues complete confidence in being able to deliver successful learning outcomes and experiences.
