Student Testimonials from our Spring Semester 2025
Convenience
“I had a blast using UniVirtual. Interacting with 3D models from the comfort of my own home allowed me to learn a lot and have fun doing it! I would totally recommend this program for future classes.”
“UniVirtual was a cool and interesting way of getting through my biology lab, and the convenience of it being online made it even better. It made learning biology really fun while it was also combined into a computer game.”
“It was really nice and easy to use. Super nice that it was at my own pace and I could do it wherever I wanted to.”
“As a student who commutes a long distance, taking my lab online greatly helped me in not having to travel back and forth from campus so often. Furthermore, the labs were fun, interactive ways to learn, and I feel as though I learned and fortified concepts taught in lecture even better after taking the labs. My experience with UniVirtual was great and I hope to have future experiences with this platform.”
“Overall, a very unique way to do a lab that kept me engaged in the material while being able to do the lab in a place of my choosing.”
“I found UniVirtual to be engaging and interesting as I have never participated in a lab such as this before. I also really appreciated the way it worked well with my schedule as it being online helped to alleviate worries of being late, or missing activities such as work.”
Increased Understanding & Retention
“This was an awesome way to learn the labs. A lot of the time I struggle to understand the processes in biology because I simply can't imagine it. This method was a great way to resolve that problem.”
“I loved the visuals of the Mitosis lab. It really helped me understand the cellular division process from a three-dimensional perspective. It was also a really good study guide.”
“I loved seeing each stage of mitosis and it really helped me grasp cell division!”
“I liked that the setup made it feel as you were actually in a classroom completing a lab yourself in person. This made it easier to understand and see the processes.”
“Univirtual is a great alternative for online labs. Although I prefer in-person labs, this program is better than most online learning. The labs were enjoyable and very informative. At some moments it helped me better understand and even learn something new.”
“UniVirtual was good and very informative. It was helpful while I studied for my other assignments, and it helped me retain a lot more information for each chapter assigned.”
“UniVirtual is very useful. It helps me understand the lectures in the class in more depth.”
“I loved using UniVirtual throughout my semester. It made learning biology more interactive and enjoyable. I hope [my university] continues using it, because it helps students understand the material on a deeper level.”
“This was a new learning platform for me, but surprisingly I adapted effortlessly after a few practices/lessons. This form of learning really allowed me to memorize some great info.”
“I honestly really liked this platform. It genuinely helped me retain the information I learned in class much easier. I liked how interactive it was.”
“I had a positive experience using UniVirtual. The interactive nature of the labs, from exploring cell structures to building DNA, made complex topics much more accessible and engaging. The immersive design made me feel like I was conducting real experiments, which helped reinforce my understanding of the material. I appreciated how each lab required active participation, whether it was manually manipulating cell structures or labeling genetic outcomes, ensuring that I truly grasped the concepts.”
Students Having Fun are More Excited to Learn!
“UniVirtual was really good. It taught me a lot of things and I wish more classes would use this app for their course – it’s way more fun.”
“I really enjoyed doing this lab and it was such a fun and different experience than any other course I’ve taken.”
“Out of every lab, the Mendelian Genetics labs were the most memorable. It was fun to experience a more creative and “outlandish” take on learning.”
“A unique experience for a lab course, pretty engaging and relaxed too. It was like a video game, so at least for me it was pretty fun.”
“This is my first experience in a class that uses UniVirtual, and the truth is that it was a very fun experience. Creating my avatar and attending classes with it was something that I really liked as a video game lover.”
“I really enjoyed being inside the cells. It was a lot of fun completing those labs and I learned a lot.”
“Overall, the entirety of UniVirtual’s lab modules were very fun to go through and learn. I would definitely like to see this in future learning!”
“Being interactive especially in an online course is important to learning the material and I feel this lab did an excellent job at it.”
“I felt the class was amazing and a great way to start my freshman year. Having my teacher there with me in the lab really contributed to that.”
