One of the key benefits of interactive lab manuals is the emphasis on visual learning. Video demonstrations make it easier for students to understand how lab equipment and techniques work, rather than relying on text alone. Video also provides the opportunity to expose students to concepts that may not be practical given safety concerns or resource constraints.
The interactive nature of today’s digital lab manuals also allows students to assess their comprehension. This provides instructors with a real-time view of whether students are completing assignments and how well they understand the information before they step inside the classroom.
