“LabBuddy offers many options to provide students interactive insight into experiments”

The challenge

Our aim was to give students insight into experiments in a more visual and interactive way. During a practical, students are exposed to a lot of information, which means they are more concerned with the individual steps of a protocol instead of the main aim of the experiments.

The transformation

By using LabBuddy, we can focus on the overview of the experiments and the main aim of the research question. To answer their research question, the students build their own experiment. They also practice learning objectives with visual supporting questions.

The final result

During the practical there is now more time for discussion about the main aim of the experiments. In addition, students also really enjoy working on the learning objectives in a visual and interactive way.
