Testimonials

Tremendous response from chemistry educators

“It is clear that Late Nite Labs has created the best Chemistry lab simulation around, both educationally and in terms of its commercial potential.” Professor George Bodner, Chemistry expert and Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Education at Purdue University.

"I was impressed with the very well designed pre-lab experiment. I especially liked the more in-depth questions, the sections on lab techniques, and the section of safety information for each experiment. Continue the good work!" A. H. Cedarville University

"The complete structure and design of the lab to the possibility of checking on students of work and reports certainly would complement labs where students do it in reality -- very nice for pre labs and training. I think students would benefit from these state-of-the-art developments in science education." Dr. V. B Professor Yale University

"After almost completing my first semester using Reactor, I'll have to say it has run very smoothly. I am very impressed with the quality of the labs, and neither students nor I had major problems accessing materials. It was really nice being able to make changes to experiments on the fly to improve the wording of instructions or whatever." Dr. D. P Professor Victoria College

"Your system is perfect for institutions that cannot afford to have real lab sessions with their students, like Distance Education programs, or certain small colleges or universities. In such cases, these institutions can use quite a number of your virtual laboratory experiments. In our case, it is out of question to eliminate our real lab sessions; this is why I originally proposed that your virtual labs could be used as pre-lab exercises. They shall be perfect for that purpose." Dr. F. G. Professor University of Manitoba

"After the first lab I got an unsolicited email about how fun and cool the software is. In 10 years of teaching traditional labs not once did this happen!!!" G.S. Professor Itasca Community College

"I'm looking forward to experimenting with the lab simulations and using them with my students. I wish we had this when I was taking chemistry lab!" P.E. Professor Kingsborough Community College

"The virtual labs add a significant element to my chemistry class. When my student step into a "real" chemistry lab later on, they will be familiar with most of the equipment and most of the procedures." D.O. Instructor Monte Vista's Online Academy

"The registration was painless! thanks LNL for making this very easy on us!" D.B. Administrator Metropolitan State College of Denver

"For the past year or so, I have been looking at lab products to support our Science curriculum in distance learning. This past week I had the opportunity to evaluate Late Nite Labs, a product I found to be superior to anything I have seen before. I enjoyed the interactivity of the labs and believe they emulate the lab experience to a remarkable degree. I encourage you to test drive LNL innovative software." D. K. DE Director Southwestern Community College

"Grantham University, one of the leaders of online education for the working adult, realizes the merit of virtual labs for our technologically advanced programs such as computer science, information systems, and electronics engineering technology. Late Nite Labs allows our students who might be stationed anywhere in the world to access these chemistry labs on their timetable. These virtual labs meet our program and course objectives; they are a big hit with our instructor, students, staff, and they help keep our accrediting agency’s evaluators satisfied.” Dr. G. S. Academic Dean at Grantham University


Tremendous response from students

"The online lab course exceeded my expectations. The main benefit (put another way, the real learning) was in working through the lab assignments. They also provided an excellent review of the course material. I felt the mechanics of doing the labs weren’t that much different from performing the lab in a physical setting. This format is an excellent delivery vehicle, especially for individuals in my situation: full-time professionals with significant time constraints and limited or no options available for completing lab requirements."

“I enjoyed this type of lab much more than the in class labs! Well worth the money and time put into it and I learned just as much as any other lab I have taken. The labs were easy to follow and very self-explanatory and all together very professional looking” B.B.

"I know a lot of the time myself and others in my lab section get confused on how to set things up or what kind of results we are supposed to get. If we had the opportunity to work the lab online and see exactly what things should happen and how everything should be set up, then I think that it would make the lab process a lot better and more beneficial for learning."

"The labs that I did were exactly the things that I do in a chemistry lab each week, but this way was a lot simpler than having to spend 3 hours in a laboratory. I learned just as much as I would have if I went to lab every week."

"I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed the website. Before doing the labs I wondered how something like this could possibly be productive, however I was pleasantly surprised. The graphics and the way in which the lab was performed was excellent. I thought they were very similar to the labs we do in class and honestly much more enjoyable to carry out than actual labs, simply because you can do them at home rather than closed up in a lab room for several hours."

"Another great thing about these labs was the fact that they involved every aspect of actually doing a lab -- finding the right equipment, making sure you are using the correct substances, setting temperatures and settings on equipment, and even cleaning up."

" I am not normally a person who enjoys lab tasks, but I did enjoy these. I think that for me doing this assignment (the Titration Tutorial) especially reinforced information that I had learned about titrations. I have known what they were all along, but they truly made sense to me for the first time after doing this online lab."

"I believe that anyone who performed these experiments online would have no trouble doing the same experiments in an actual lab situation."

"From a scale from 1 to 10 I would give REACTOR a 10. The program was creative, organized, clear, helpful, and very beneficial. One of the things I really enjoyed about the site as a whole, that’s slightly different from our actual lab that we attend weekly, was that I could go at my own pace. Also all of the glassware, chemicals, and equipment were all labeled very well so I knew what everything was. The instructions were very clear and straight forward, I had no problem following the directions. Also I liked that if you messed up while in the middle of an experiment you could restart the lab in only seconds. It was easier to clean up too!"

"The final lab reports were a big help in understanding what had been accomplished in the lab. Not only were the questions and responses included, but each step that the student took to complete the lab was also recorded."

"Overall, I was really satisfied with the new online Late Nite Labs. It was extremely easy to use and I felt like I learned from doing each of the labs. All of the people I spoke to on the phone were very knowledgeable. I really appreciated how nice all of the employees were and how dedicated they were to helping me."

"These labs were good because they allowed the focus to be on understanding theories, conducting calculations, getting the results, and answering questions rather than dealing with errors in the actual experiment."
