Advanced digital tools for science student preparation, assessment and learning, freeing up precious time so you can support the students who need it most.

Smart Worksheets

Online, autograded assessment tools for advanced data analysis and calculation practice

A labsim activity where users can change settings on a microscope and answer questions

LabSims

Online, interactive laboratory simulations that explore common experiments and techniques.

Key benefits

Less marking, more teaching

Save hundreds of hours of marking time with autograded assessments, freeing you up to look at best practice, or focus on more advanced, tailored support for students.

Increased lab efficiency

Students have a chance to prepare and practise skills and techniques before practical sessions, so your time can be spent on more meaningful interactions in the lab.

Give more targeted support

Gain insights into student learning by reviewing individual attempts, so you know exactly what support students need and when they need it.

Less material preparation

Ready-made, unlimited data sets mean less time creating and supplying hundreds of resources for lab sessions or exam preparation.

Easy Adoption

Implement these solutions quickly with ready-made resources that can be set up within a day, and personal support from our team.

"Learning Science have been extremely professional to work with and have been on hand to make edits, receive feedback, and make implementation as smooth as possible"

Dr. Ciorsdaidh Watts, University of Glasgow

“The simulations and Smart Worksheet assessments from Learning Science have broadened our horizons of what we can do for the students. The fact that Learning Science is a team of scientists and developers means that they understand the types of questions we want to ask and can advise on best use of technologies."

Andrew Allsebrook, University of Queensland

“The payback in terms of revenue time year-on-year was very significant. In the long run it has saved me a lot of time, a lot of energy, and students get better feedback. It’s a win win situation!“

Dr. Roy Lowry, Associate Professor, Plymouth University

“Before, we would talk to them in their groups and give feedback, but a hesitant or anxious student could hide in that group. Now we could go around to see exactly who was proceeding and who wasn't. We could identify immediately who needed help.”

Dr. Alison Hill, University of Exeter

"The embedding of Smart Worksheets across the department has brought improvements in all the target areas. The time saved by staff has been conservatively estimated at over 440 hours each year… that time can be spent instead on supporting students in other ways, improving our teaching elsewhere, or freeing up time for research.
