Custom Lab Manual Publishing: Our Best-of-Breed Program

Catalyst Education has a four-year history of helping science departments modernize their lab instruction into the 21st century using Labflow, our powerful learning platform, combined with our unrivaled scientist-led faculty support.

Did you know that we have a vigorous and best-of-breed custom lab manual publishing program as well? Whether you’re creating digital-only content or want to provide your students with a flexible hybrid of print and digital, we are the most efficient and competent team to work with in all of higher education.

Why? Because like everything we do, our lab publishing program is infused with scientists and educators with a passion for content. We know your goals because we’ve done your job at other universities—teaching and running lab programs. 

We are trained chemical and biology science education researchers and curriculum design experts. We have decades of experience in the higher education publishing market. We’ve been the primary authors of textbooks, written our own lab manuals, produced the largest collection of OER lab experiments, and are sticklers for content accuracy and efficient communication of difficult scientific concepts to young college students. Our custom lab manual publishing program is run by Dr. Justin Shorb, a Ph.D. in chemistry education who is well-known and an active contributor to chemistry education and OER content. I could go on and on…

Does that sound like any other custom publishing team in the market? Can any other team make custom publishing easier and more efficient? No—not even close. 

Recently the lab coordinator from the University of Arkansas wrote: “Your experiments look so much nicer than what I gave you to start with. I don’t have words for how good they look.” 

I am very proud of the team we have assembled and the many testimonials I have heard since we launched this program.
