The collaborative laboratory notebook for learning science
At the intersection of an electronic lab notebook and a learning platform, LabNBook enables students to collaboratively produce lab reports, scientific write-ups, and other technical documents.
Designed to support science practical sessions—whether in-person or remote—LabNBook provides:
- structured writing spaces designed by instructors to guide the expected scientific approach;
- integrated tools (text, equations, diagrams, protocols, data, Python code, etc.) to design experiments, analyze, model, and discuss experimental results;
- a collaborative environment with monitoring and feedback tools to foster student autonomy under instructor supervision.

Research
LabNBook is derived from researches in Technology-Enhanced Learning. This domain articulates researches in computer sciences, education sciences, and didactics.
The investigated questions in LabNBook deal with the conception of the environment, its usages in ecological context, and the learning outcomes induced.
