The introduction of VR headsets is designed to help online students in life sciences courses complete lab work. In an article posted on the ASU website in late August, Amy Pate, manager of instructional design for the School of Life Sciences, explains, “We always talk about it in terms of the online classroom, but even some of the labs we do on campus have a limited number of seats or only run once a year. The virtual side of things can get more people into the lab.” Over the summer, Pate worked closely with a team from Labster to test out the technology and address its glitches in various different simulations.
