We’ve worked with instructors teaching at serious scale: think courses with around 4,000 students per year! With classes this size, it becomes increasingly difficult to give every student a meaningful lab experience, week after week. That’s where virtual labs can help.

We offer an “infinite” virtual biology course to help with problems like these, but what does that really mean?

Everything required to teach and learn is in place from the start with UniVirtual. That’s because our courses are built and maintained in close partnership with educators and shaped through processes that relieve pressure from entire departments, something we’ve been passionate about since we co-designed the first virtual degree in 2012. This blog shares the groundwork we’ve done to make our courses reliable, engaging, and ready the moment you need them.

Over 1,200 biology students at the University of Central Florida completed a survey about their experience using UniVirtual as part of their introductory biology course in Fall 2025. The results provide insight into how students access the UniVirtual platform on their own devices or school computers, navigate the world, and engage with the learning environments and pedagogical approachs employed within them.
