Teacher story by: Dr Paul Smeets

“With LabBuddy, students think for themselves—and I save valuable supervision time.”

Wageningen University & Research; Nutritional neurosciences; EEG lab

The challenge

In our EEG lab practical, we work with specialized data analysis, which makes it hard to find enough qualified supervisors. I needed a way to support students effectively without relying on constant supervision.

The transformation

All protocols were built into LabBuddy, with automated feedback and a scoreboard to monitor student progress, reducing the need for constant supervision.

The final result

LabBuddy provided a clear structure that encouraged critical thinking. Students prepared thoroughly, checked their own understanding, and worked independently. Supervision time was significantly reduced, while learning outcomes improved.
