The Chancellor’s Office has signed a contract with Labster to provide access to its platform and entire library of science lab simulations to all CA community colleges through 12/31/2020. These simulations can help you offer biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering lab courses online.
Labster is now integrated into Delta’s Canvas platform.
Please see the below information for instructions on how to add Labster content into your Canvas course shells, resources, training, and for support. You may also download the Labster to Canvas Guide.
The website below (and attached instructions) give faculty what they need to add Labster into their courses if they so choose:
Dedicated web page for all CCC faculty
Also, the Labster team is offering faculty training webinars via Zoom and will continue to do so for the next few weeks. Faculty can determine which one fits in their schedule by visiting the CVC-OEI Events Calendar.
