University System of Maryland Partners with Labster for Virtual Laboratory Simulations
Backed by the 2.6M OnTrack Initiative, The University System of Maryland is partnering with Copenhagen-based Labster to allow USM students access to the company’s 150 virtual laboratory simulations, which can be used if a course is moved entirely online or to supplement in-person instruction. “While it is difficult to replace the ‘hands-on’ experience of a real lab environment, we were very pleased to find a solution for our campuses that can help us de-densify the classroom by helping students prepare for labs in advance using simulations,” said Dr. MJ Bishop, director of the Kirwan Center.
