Lab Skills
Foundation Chemistry LabSkills
University Network Edition
“This gives our university students so much more confidence coming into the lab”
A networked 'Dynamic Lab Manual' preparing foundation chemistry students for the laboratory. LabSkills is an innovative, multifunctional
e-learning tool covering core topics in experimental chemistry.
Develops skills and builds confidence
LabSkills provides ideal pre-lab preparation for students with limited experience of practical chemistry. Laboratory class time can become far more productive if students know what they will be doing before they begin.
The laboratory learning activities in LabSkills provide safe opportunities to practise and develop the essential experimental skills typically found at this level.
Helps all students studying university chemistry succeed in the lab
LabSkills doesn’t assume prior knowledge of the subjects covered. It quickly brings students up to speed with techniques, skills, competencies and safety considerations.
The guided activities prompt high levels of interaction and deliver responsive feedback which benefits, stretches and supports students of all abilities.
Extends learning opportunties
LabSkills installs quickly and easily on any network, MLS or VLE. The 50 individual learning modules integrate seamlessly with existing course material which students can access wherever the network is available - from campus or home.
The advanced learning approaches in LabSkills have been developed and tested over the past four years with the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning in Practical Chemistry at the University of Bristol making this one of the most innovative science learning tools in the world.
