Using Labster in Canvas

1. Access Labster in Canvas

Labster is integrated with our school's LMS, Canvas, so you don't need an account with Labster Course Manager. Instead, you can simply access your Course, and Assignment or teacher Syllabus from our school Portal, and launch a simulation from there.

Example of Canvas

2. Click on the simulation link to load it

Once you created your account or found Labster simulations in your School's Portal, you need to click on the simulation to load it.

A payment might be required during the loading screen. Confirm with your Instructor if you need to purchase a voucher code from your Campus's bookstore (or need to pay by credit card).

You can play the simulation, resume it and reload the mission from the last checkpoint to replay a specific part if needed.
