Springer, a global scientific, technical and medical portfolio, has announced a partnership with Labster, connecting traditional textbook material with computer-animated simulations. This collaboration will help to shape the future of science education by changing the way students learn science. The enhanced textbook material is available via Springer's content platform SpringerLink or through purchasing a specific textbook.
With a shared vision to improve science education globally, Springer and Labster have created four concise English-language books for biology in higher education. This textbook format will provide new and improved learning material on the most relevant topics to help students prepare for their exams. The books are designed specifically for the German university curriculum.
Each book chapter covers the basic concepts of a topic, and is followed by a Labster simulation that students can use to reinforce and test their knowledge. Readers will also able to practise the techniques that they have learned with a hands-on lab experience which is simulated through virtual labs using advanced equipment and includes multiple choice questions and 3D animations.
This collaboration will begin with the launch of the first two Labster-authored books which cover theory in basic genetics and basic biology. In spring 2019, two more textbooks will follow covering theory in basic biochemistry and genetics of human diseases.
