My Take
Labster is a very useful tool especially for online classes. It provides alternative laboratory activity that instructors can provide in lieu of experiments that experiments that can't be run anymore due to resources. Also, it is very interactive and some students find it very engaging and very informative.
How I Use It
I teach an online asynchronous class and I use Labster as a way students will perform laboratory experiment. I use to provide them activities that they can do using tools that they can get at home but I switched to Labster, which allowed me to do more activities for students.

Awesome Tool for Biology!
I really enjoy all aspects of this product. The only shortfall is the long load time; however, they are great at support and working with customers to fix any glitches that arise.

Labster excellent for microbiology virtual lab
The following is a list describing why I use Labster:
1. 20+ Virtual labs for microbiology, and many other topic areas
2. Easy to set up and use
3. Virtual labs delve deep into subject matter, ie. Immunology
4. Topics help meet course objectives
5. Virtual labs give students a "laboratory experience" when otherwise there would be no experience at all
6. Customer service is fast and effective
7. Instructor can simply observe student progress
The only issue that I have run across is the campus computer system does not support Labster, therefore I must ask my students to use the WiFi with their private devices. Most devices are now compatible with Labster.
