  • Explanation of "Prepare" and "Work" mode and the differences between them.
  • Explanation of various buttons in LabBuddy and their operation
  • How to easily adjust texts yourself
  • What do the reports look like, and how can you monitor students in the back end of LabBuddy?

One step deeper than Bronze. Creating questions and feedback.

This training is intended for any teacher who wants to spend a little more time maintaining LabBuddy and who wants to create questions and feedback.

In this training, we assume that the participants are familiar with LabBuddy and have knowledge of the "Bronze" training.

In this training, we will discuss the following:

  • The functionality in LabBuddy to create closed questions
  • How to develop and formulate feedback
  • Developing questions from an educational point of view
  • The types of questions and where they are best applied

 

Better understanding of the software and applying didactics.

The training does not only cover explanations, but we immediately start working together in the LabBuddy software. This is the best way to experience how the software works and discover how to develop questions and feedback.

We can well imagine that once you get started, questions still arise. After the training, you are entitled to an hour of complimentary support.

With this training, you can independently adjust questions, create new questions, and provide them with feedback. This way, you can modify your LabBuddy course at any time that suits you.

And if it does not suit you, you can always count on the LabBuddy support, and we will carry out the work for you!

Become an expert just like us!

 

This training is intended for those who want to implement a practical in LabBuddy completely independently, but according to the LabBuddy standard!

This training focuses on various aspects of implementing LabBuddy in a practical. It includes educational principles and all functionality that LabBuddy offers. Knowledge of educational science and good computer skills are required! Having some programming knowledge is an advantage.

However, that knowledge alone does not guarantee a successful LabBuddy implementation. Well-considered choices in the interplay between educational science and the functionality in LabBuddy make it successful. We will train you at the knowledge level of our e-learning developers.

Some of the items we cover in this training are as follows:

  • Basic knowledge of LabBuddy, both technical and educational
  • Setting up and working with the Experiment Designer
  • Implementing automated feedback in the Experiment Designer
  • Setting up a Web Lab Manual
  • Creating Closed Questions with feedback
  • Operation of the LabJournal
  • Manage student accounts and access
  • Explanation of the Back end of LabBuddy; reports etc.

Create your entire LabBuddy course!

 

The training includes instructions that allow us to start working together immediately. So, it will be real hands-on training. First, you will work on a particular practical you want to implement into LabBuddy; you need to send us that practical manual in advance. Then, during the training, we start with the LabBuddy implementation for that practical. This means that you do not only learn how to make a LabBuddy implementation, but you also get started right away with your first implementation!

Duration:
The "Gold" training lasts two days and includes lunch. These days are full training days, including a hotel stay with dinner. After these training days, the Expert-Support will start. 

Location:
The training takes place at our office. Training at your location is negotiable, which may result in additional costs.

Investment:
The investment for this training is € 4,854.00 per participant. 

Expert-Support Gold

After the training, we will stay in touch! We can very well imagine that once you get started, all kinds of questions will arise. That is why we organise Expert-Support for those who have followed the training Gold.

This Expert-Support consists of:

  • Expert-inspiration meetings four times per year
  • Expert-catch-up moments every other week
  • LabBuddy Support Hotline, a channel in Microsoft Teams for questions that can't wait two weeks

To minimise the travelling time, these Expert-Support moments will preferably be held online. Optionally, it is possible to organize this at our location.

With Expert-Support, you will be assisted in the following areas:

  • Demonstration and instruction of new functionalities
  • Discussion of recent experiences of other universities/colleges
  • Feedback and advise on a design you are currently working on
  • Specific explanation if needed

It is mandatory to follow at least three Expert-inspiration meetings every year, as long as you are implementing LabBuddy within your educational institution. In this way, you stay up-to-date with the most recent developments and 'best practices' and get the best out of LabBuddy! In addition, together we guarantee the quality that the label LabBuddy stands for.

In case it is not convenient to make the adjustments yourself, you can always count on the support you are used to from us! Just mail to support@labbuddy.net.

Investment:
The yearly Expert-Support is € 1,398.00 per participant. 

All rates mentioned are exclusive of VAT.
