What Are TAs Saying About Labflow?
At Catalyst Education, we are committed to helping the entire team in the laboratory. Whether you are an instructor, a teaching assistant, or a student, we strive to promote a positive lab experience. We recently conducted a survey asking instructors and teaching assistants what they thought of Labflow. Our goal was to ensure that we are delivering on our promises.
Almost 80% of our users agree that our platform is user-friendly. With our mobile-first design, students and instructors can access Labflow comfortably from their phone, tablet, or computer. Students can engage with Labflow on any device they have handy, so they can do all their work from anywhere they are—and anytime they can. By setting students up for success prior to lab, guiding them as they collect data, and coaching them as they write lab reports, many of our instructors agree that Labflow helped students be more prepared for the lab as well.
In addition, 75% of our instructors say that Labflow saves them time when it comes to grading. In fact, the time savings for most instructors is more than two hours per week. By streamlining their course management, TA management, and grading workflow, it’s no surprise that many hope that Labflow will be continued to be used at their institutions as schools return to in-person instruction.
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Many of the TAs raved about our quick grade feature, which streamlined the grading process. In addition to saving time, Labflow improved the consistency of the graders’ work. TAs also noted that the videos on our platform helped them refresh their knowledge on concepts.
Here is what some TAs had to say about Labflow:
“My favorite aspect was the features they had and the videos, and the features it had to allow me to grade. It felt informative to the students and also gave me the ability to give more thoughtful comments.”
“I like how the week’s work is laid out in panels. It makes it easy for students to see all that is due and when.”
“Overall it was a good experience, and better than other online sites I have used in the past, both as a student and as an instructor.”
“Allowed for grading a question at a time, limiting changes in focus, increasing efficiency.”
“Easier to compare between students and keep the grading fair and consistent.”
As we continue to build out our software, we hope to get more feedback from our users. We strive to deliver a platform that assists everyone involved in the laboratory course. If you have feedback you would like to share with us, please reach out to let us know. We would love to hear what you think!
