Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

Adoption of browser-based 3D virtual laboratory simulations to replace or supplement physical wet labs, allowing students to perform dangerous or expensive experiments (e.g., DNA sequencing) safely.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"Democratizes access to high-end science facilities. While it can't fully replace pipetting skills, it allows unlimited 'do-overs' for conceptual mastery and saves millions in reagent costs and facility maintenance."

warning The Challenge

Physical science labs are incredibly expensive to build and maintain ($50k+ per room). Safety concerns limit what undergraduates can do (e.g., handling radiation or viruses). Distance learning students were completely excluded from lab-based degrees due to the lack of physical access.

psychology The Solution

Integrated Labster simulations into the LMS. Students use a standard laptop to enter a 3D gamified lab. They perform experiments by clicking and dragging virtual equipment. The system provides instant feedback if they make a mistake (e.g., blowing up a flask) and quizzes them on the theory. Instructors track progress via a dashboard.
