How Students Adapted to new Learning Environment
The hands-on, practical experience LabSim provides is essential to truly learning the concepts
and ultimately, finding work in the real world. Just ask Karen Hargrove, a student in Virginia
College’s Online MIS program, who has found that her online courses using LabSim have been a
“huge benefit.”“Without LabSim, I do not think that I would have understood the material half as well
as I donow,” Hargrove said. “Working through the online labs in my Cisco class, for example,
was sohelpful, letting me actually put into practice the concepts I was learning with the other
LabSimmaterials. Although I have not graduated yet I will in the near future and I am positive that thesesimulations will give me more practical experience in the workplace.”
“As an instructor in Washington State, I will tell you that LabSIm training has changed the way students are able to learn.”
