Labster is a virtual science lab boasting a catalog of over one hundred lab simulations for various scientific disciplines. It gives students access to a realistic lab experience that will let them perform experiments and practice their skills in a fun and risk-free learning environment. Labster integrates with Sakai through the Lessons tool.

Loyola has renewed its agreement with Labster; the tool will be available for use throughout the 21-22 academic year.
