The Digital Workspace for Experimental Sciences
LabNBook is a learning platform dedicated to experimental science laboratory courses. It combines an electronic laboratory notebook designed for education with a platform for simulated experiments.
In LabNBook, students collaboratively prepare for and document their laboratory work. Integrated tools enable them to create text, equations, diagrams, experimental protocols, data analyses, and Python code. They can design experiments, collect measurements, model experimental data, and discuss their results.
Teachers organize workspaces to suit their pedagogical objectives. They support students with monitoring, feedback, and assessment tools.
Simulated experiments enable students to prepare effectively for laboratory sessions and revise before examinations.
Developed as an open-source project at Université Grenoble Alpes, LabNBook is used by more than 6,000 users each year on the Grenoble platform (high schools, universities, and engineering schools). It is also deployed at several other higher education institutions.
