Relevance
Real-world examples engage students with scenarios they can relate to and care about, providing a connection between the lab and their own experience.
Comprehensive
Each lab takes students through the learning journey. Motivated by a real-world scenario, students first cover the background knowledge needed to be successful in the lab. Next, students create their hypothesis and design the experiment. Through a virtual lab simulation, students collect and analyze their data and finally revisit their hypothesis.
Active learning
In this risk-free setting, guided feedback allows students to make mistakes and learn from them. Immediate feedback and hints instruct students on what to do rather than simply providing the correct answer.
Convenience
With flexible course formats, Interactive Labs can replace in-person wet labs, provide an online-only solution, or work with a hybrid lab course.
