In an age where information is abundant and learning opportunities are limitless, having the right tools as an educator is crucial—not only as you navigate this landscape yourself, but also as you help your learners find trustworthy resources that foster critical thinking. Enter LabXchange: the free online platform that is transforming how science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) are taught and learned online.
LabXchange's library of 32,000+ learning resources will always be free and available to anyone, anywhere, regardless of whether or not you create an account. But signing up for a free account unlocks several key features that make LabXchange an even more powerful and useful tool to have in your repertoire. Here's what you can do with an educator account.
LabXchange is known for its vast repository of educational resources. Our ever-expanding library contains thousands of virtual lab simulations, animations, videos, teaching guides, and more, from creators that you know and trust, like PhET, Khan Academy, Crash Course, and others. With a free account, you can easily save your favorite pieces of content and quickly find them in your LabXchange Dashboard.
By bookmarking valuable resources, you create a personalized library that you can revisit anytime. And when your list of favorites starts getting longer, you can sort and search among them, ensuring that your most trusted teaching resources are always at your fingertips.
Every learner's journey is deeply personal. LabXchange recognizes this by helping educators like you create personalized, differentiated learning experiences. With your account, you can customize learning pathways that align with an individual student’s interests and goals, or with the needs of a specific class, ensuring a more engaging and rewarding experience for all.
In addition to the resources that you've previously saved to your Dashboard, you can also privately upload and store any teaching resources you have made yourself—like videos, lesson plans, or images—for easy sharing with students and colleagues. These can be added to existing learning pathways or used in entirely new pathways that you create and customize yourself.
Education is most impactful when it's shared, and LabXchange is designed to facilitate meaningful connections from educator to learner and educator to educator. With an educator account, you can create a LabXchange class, giving you and your students quick, free access to a collaborative space where you can post learning resources and discuss ideas.
In addition, you can monitor your learners’ progress to make sure they engage with the resources that you assign within the class. And if your colleagues are on LabXchange, you can privately share pathways and other resources to foster a supportive community of practice. By sharing insights and resources, you contribute to a culture of collaborative learning that enriches the educational experience for everyone involved.
In a rapidly evolving world, proficiency in science and technology is more important than ever. We know that STEMM educators are always on the lookout for tools to enhance their teaching methods and equip their students with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive. With access to a wide range of teaching resources, tools for authoring and personalization, and private spaces for sharing, assessment, and collaboration, we hope you’ll find that you can seamlessly incorporate LabXchange into your teaching practice.
With its extensive resources, immersive simulations, personalized learning paths, and collaborative opportunities, LabXchange empowers learners and educators to explore, engage, and excel in science.
